Actually I think we don't need this check at all. Now that you point me to
it I see quite a bunch of other unnecessary configure checks in configure.in.in
(my fault, copy&paste is just too easy :)

For a quick run removing the AC_C_LONG_DOUBLE from configure.in.in should
do it. The real fix however is probably to really clean up the file
completely :-)

Anyone wants to? Otherwise I'll see if I can find time for it on the weekend :)

Bye,
 Simon
