Requiring libkstat.* on Linux does not seem to be good ...
*Do* we require it? I believe we first try just "-lsnmp" and, if that fails, we try "-lsnmp -lkstat". If linking only with "-lsnmp" on Linux doesn't work, perhaps we need to try more than just "-lkstat" as additional libraries.
If you're referring to the requirement for a crypto library, that's currently handled with the "--with-ssl" option; I'm not sure there's a good reason why we require users on Linux to specify that option, rather than just trying "-lsnmp -lcrypto" as well as "-lsnmp -lkstat".
