Yes, please do -- I couldn't see any obvious need for the NEED_LINGER
once 1.1 is out, and I'd like to have that behavior on all systems
in order to avoid some problems with persistent connections and
pipelining.  Perhaps we could set it up as

    #if defined(OUR_LINGER_FAILS)
      -- old code --
    #else
      -- new code --
    #endif

and just add defines for OUR_LINGER_FAILS if it does for such a system.
Either that, or write an autoconf test for it.
