Change a bunch of calls of AC_CHECK_HEADERS to AC_CHECK_HEADERS_ONCE. This makes our configure file 1000 lines smaller on my computer (it's still 39,404 lines). Basically if you're only using the first argument to AC_CHECK_HEADERS then you should use AC_CHECK_HEADERS_ONCE. I couldn't find info on when this was added to autoconf, but it looks like it's been there since 2.57. But if this causes large swaths of people to not be able to compile then we should revert it, or whatever the monotone term is for that. Revoke? See http://www.gnu.org/software/autoconf/manual/autoconf.html#Generic-Headers for the documentation.
