Hm. socklen_t is POSIX.  Shouldn't getaddrinfo assume a POSIX system
except for getaddrinfo?  If a maintainer notice that socklen_t is ALSO
missing he could use the socklen_t module herself.  Just a thought.
For this case adding the dependency is low-cost, but in general it
could have been a very complex module that were added.
