+  Perhaps put back the old socket code; if on a machine that does not
+  properly support the getaddrinfo API, then use it.  This is probably
+  much simpler than reimplementing it.
+
+  Alternatively, have two different files implementing the same
+  interface, and choose either the new or the old API.  This is
+  probably necessary for systems that e.g. have IPv6, but
+  gethostbyaddr() can't handle it.  The Linux manpage claims this is

+  This might get us working again on RedHat 5 and similar systems.
+  Although the Kame patch seems like a good idea, in fact it is a much
+  broader interface than the relatively narrow "open by name", "accept
+  and log" interface that rsync uses internally, and it has the
+  disadvantage of clashing with half-arsed implementations of the API.
