I can understand why this feature is desirable - there are a couple of
problems with the implementation, though.
- From a code modularity point of view, socket stuff should not go
to options.c, but to socket.c
- your code is likely to work on Linux and *BSD, but will it work
"as is" on Solaris and Windows? I don't expect it to, so additional
#ifdef's are needed --> and that's why it should go to one of the more
system-dependent (and already #ifdef-filled) source files
In general, I wonder why binding to the interface is really needed - what
happens if you don't specify "local" at all? It should pick the proper
source address automatically.
