The good thing about this is that, while the daemon is capable
of fielding multiple outstanding requests, the libresolv that
is part of libc is not.

Oh, wait, that's not a good thing...

I believe that ELF is a nice opportunity for us to seperate the
resolver functions out of libc into libresolv, allowing us a
better opportunity to track bind as a vendor branch from ISC.

Someone with commit privs should see to this before the 3.0
release...
