Hrm.  Why isn't canon-host dependant on getaddrinfo?  It would simplify
the canon-host code so much that it would probably be all right to LGPL
it.  It would also mean that canon-host could just return error codes
suitable for gai_strerror.  I'll have to extend lib/getaddrinfo.c a
little to fill in ai_canonhost and add the gai_strerror function.  Would
that be acceptable?

Come to think of it, after that, canon-host would be a pretty thin
wrapper around getaddrinfo.  Perhaps it would be best to tweak
getaddrinfo and drop the canon-host module entirely?

Derek
