When setting $hostname, I think we should require it to be us-ascii. Otherwise, there're probably many more places to touch. If gethostbyfoo() routines are deprecated, I think we should go with their replacements in the first place and provide compatibility routines, i.e. hack our own getaddrinfo() using the older versions. This has the advantage that it's just AC_REPLACE_FUNCS and another file. It wouldn't clutter the code with #ifdef/#endif orgies. Rocco
