I wasn't aware of this myself when committing this.  It was later pointed
out that lwres library (light-weight resolver library) can replace our
resolver code in libc at some point.  I think once this is done, we'll
just remove this the WITH_BIND_LIBS knob, and only install lwres library,
and make all other BIND library internal without a knob to expose them.

Why would we need four libraries that aren't otherwise used by anything
else?  Should we also install libgroff, and all internal GCC and BU
libraries?  ;)

Enable WITH_BIND_LIBS and check for yourself?  ;)
