They are old, and carry this comment:
{ these for are for netdb legacy compat}
IIRC they were kept for 1.0.x compatibility, and the 32-bit unsigned support
of that was not so great. Moreover I didn't care enough to deprecate them,
but maybe we should.
The newer (1.9.2+) htons etc functions (introduced with that name for Kylix
compat) are unsigned.
