You are welcome..

Remember that this should only have effect on the "Maximum number of
filedescriptors we can open" probe used to figure out the number really
supported, not the detection of FD_SETSIZE etc..

One quick way to do this is to simply make the test cacheable by converting it
to a AC_CECHE_CHECK call. Then all that is needed to do to override the test
is to set the ac_XXX environment variable when running configure.. no need
for a new configure option.
