libstat status 2

Hello there,

During the last week, I worked on libnetstat and moved many functions
from netstat(1) to that library and built up a simple interface for
them.  Thanks to this, now I have abstractions for representing active
unix domain and inet4/inet6 connections (called socket_type and
addr_type), and I also have a modified version of netstat(1) to use
the implemented library functions.  I have not tested it too much
(yet), but it works well in simple cases.  You can reach both of them
from Perforce [1].

Plans for the next week:
- Implement some further optimizations for the library, solve the
problems noted in the sources
- Investigate the possibilities of replacing the interface based on
sysctl(8) for live monitoring
- Create a simple tool using libnetstat for monitoring active
connections, similar to top(1)

Cheers,
:g
