Coming back to this. I agree this needs fixing (for 2.3.7 and 2.4), but
I am not convinced the approach is the right one - it's too brittle, and
I think we don't really need the #ifdef HAVE_RES_INIT at all.
Why? Because all (unixy) OSes that we support have res_init() - checked
man pages for *BSD, MacOS X, Solaris, AIX and Linux. MS docs for Windows
are unclear, but if it's not there, we can always #ifndef WIN32 it...
So I'd prefer a patch that would just find the necessary library to link
(-lresolv, -lsocket, whatever) and otherwise assumes that res_init() is
just there, no matter whether it's a macro or anything else.
Comments?
