[kaffe] IP address autodetection

[Matthew Toseland]

While trying to get freenet working on Kaffe, I discovered a side
issue... we use the attached code to detect the local internet IP
address. Basically, we open a datagram socket to the A-root nameserver
and call getLocalAddress(). This returns 0.0.0.0 on Kaffe CVS; any 
chance of fixing? Anything I can do to help?
