Given that there are rather a lot of bust base systems around wrt DNS
resolution, it might be worth having the option of building with all DNS
related functions explicitly coded - ie gethostby*() not used.
Then if you built against a known good resolver library (and recommend
that libbind from 8.1.2 or current should be used for best performance),
then you would have an exim which was rather less subject to the vaguries
of system libraries. We practically have to do this for IPV6 anyhow.
