   Code that uses Berkeley sockets API directly either does not work (too   
   naive) or is quite big. One can write very light wrapper indeed but   
   that forwards all the issues, adds no convenience and so ... is just   
   bloat.

   Yes, maybe sketch somewhere what you have in mind. What does it do (for   
   tiny example from myriad) when 'h_addr_list' of 'hostent' returned by   
   'gethostbyname' contains several addresses (only one of what is the   
   real one)?
