I did not add any functionality patches.  The patches were to fix
some of the CERT advisories in BIND 8.1.2 (specifically sprintf() with
MAXDNAME).

P.S.  I did implement something similar to no-check-names with a slight
extension. In my version, users may specify a set of characters they want
to be valid.  They can also turn of name checking completely.
I will be adding support no-check-names in the next rev.
