Install issue -lwrap

[Reid Torosian]

I did a straight ./configure.  libwrap.a does indeed exist, as does 
"all: libraries libwrap binaries" in the main Makefile.  I tried 
configure with --with-local-libwrap and make gave this:

Making
(cd tools/tcpd_wrapper; make  REAL_DAEMON_DIR="/" LIBS="-lresolv -lnsl 
-lcrypt " RANLIB=ranlib TLI= CC="gcc" EXTRA_CFLAGS="-DUSE_STRERROR" 
config-check; \
make  REAL_DAEMON_DIR="/" LIBS="-lresolv -lnsl -lcrypt " RANLIB=ranlib 
TLI= CC="gcc" EXTRA_CFLAGS="-DUSE_STRERROR" libwrap.a)

Which to me looks exactly the same as before :(
