HEADS UP: new NSS

IMHO threads-safe versions of gethostby* are very important. getaddrinfo
is already threads-safe. Do you plan to do this yourself ? And if so,
before 5.1/5.2 ?

What about the nsscache implemenation we talked once ? I guess with
the work you have done this is a lot easier, right ?
