The point is to separate concerns. Using the getaddrinfo module should make 
Emacs easier to maintain, since Emacs wouldn't need "#ifndef HAVE_GETADDRINFO" 
etc. sprinkled throughout its own source code. The total amount of code in the 
Emacs tarball (i.e., Emacs proper + Emacs copy of gnulib subset) should be about 
the same, but the "port to non-getaddrinfo" stuff would be in gnulib and would 
be shared better with other GNU projects.
