Ah.  Yeah, I guess one does this with the res_init family of
functions, but these 1) aren't POSIX, and 2) seem rather obscure and
poorly documented.  Grump.

Hrm, another factum to throw into the mix: there was mention earlier
of making monotone LGPL. I don't have a strong preference either way,
and might even lean towards keeping it GPL, but it should be noted
that adns is GPL, so a switch to LGPL would require the removal of
adns.
