dnl PAC_ARG_SHARED_MEMORY - add --with-shared-memory=kind to configure
dnl
dnl Synopsis:
dnl PAC_ARG_SHARED_MEMORY
dnl
dnl Output effects:
dnl Adds '--with-shared-memory' to the command line. Checks for available
dnl shared memory functionality.
dnl
dnl Supported values of 'kind' include \:
dnl+ auto - default
dnl. mmap - use mmap and munmap
dnl- sysv - use sysv shared memory functions
