Having spent more time fixing yet another open source package
to find the socket/name lookup functions on Solaris in libnsl
& libsocket that all other commonly used OS'es put in libc, I
have to wonder - is there any reason to keep them out of libc?
Couldn't we fold them in and leave filters, as was done for the
thread libraries? Are the libxnet versions of the overlapping
functions incompatible, and even if so, can't we fix that in a
less painful way than forcing Solaris-ism's into every open source
project that wants to open a socket or find a hostname?
