The "real" gethostbyname_r() that takes 3 params is what the code Im
attempting to port uses. As I implied earlier, my C competence is far
below par, so for me to write this code would be far for trivial for 
_me_ :)

As for paying someone to implement it, Im porting the software for fun,
and spending cash conflicts with my idea of fun :)

Im porting partysip, which is a SIP proxy/registrar amongst other
things. I think it would be pretty nasty kludge to have the port depend
on squid. Or do you suggest that I pull squids implementation of
gethostbyname_r() and make a patch for partysip? (actually that seems
obvious now).
I think there may be license conflicts there as the particular part of
code is LGPL. Licensing issues are not my forte nor my interest :)

Thnx,
-Jev
