| Ok, almost done. Just a few issues before submitting a patch.

| glibc uses getifaddrs() to accomplish this, which nicely enough is
already

| it has not been needed before. Removing the #if 0's adds about 4.6 kB to

| getaddrinfo AI_ADDRCONFIG hint to work, or is 4.6 kB too little for
anyone
| to worry about at this stage?

Addding option would be a good thing to do in my opinion.
