11 dnl We expect to see the declaration of sleep() in a header file.
12 dnl Older versions of mingw have a sleep() function that is an alias to
13 dnl _sleep() in MSVCRT. It has a different signature than POSIX sleep():
14 dnl it takes the number of milliseconds as argument and returns void.
15 dnl mingw does not declare this function.
