linking issues

[Ethan Galstad]

libmath is needed for from float functions found in a few places.  
libnsl was used in older versions of Nagios that used named pipes for 
IPC.  Sockets will likely appear in Nagios 3.0, so I'll just comment 
them out of the configure script for the moment and not completely 
remove them.
