I still think that getipnoby{name,addr} need to be implemented in order
to be compliant with the rfc2553bis-00 draft. Or have I missed something?
I think it's important that the new glibc 2.2 is fully compliant, since
there will be quite some time (a few years) until next opportunity. There
are other things that need to be added/changed too. Of course there are
other standards too....
