That should be no problem. Although we might just go for the newer
getaddrinfo and inet_ntop all the way. In fact I am sort of using them
in the Coda source already, I just force the family to PF_IPV4 and am
using wrapper functions that try to give close to identical
functionality when the real getaddrinfo is not available.

Very good.

Once things stabilize, valgrind should find any remaining leaks :)

Using inet_ntop and getaddrinfo even when we only have IPv4 will
probably remove a lot of these. 

A chrismas present that I get to unwrap two days early.
