=> Shane shall be happy!

To be serious at this time I've found:
 - usual little details which need work (gettimeofday() for instance)
 - bugs revealed by another compiler (they have to be fixed anyway)
 - not directly portable design (one example with two occurrences,
  PF_UNIX sockets)
there is nothing similar to the bind9 socket I/O system which should
have been a pain to port.
BTW I put a fake application at the top of the project tree, my idea
is to add a BINDInstall clone. IMHO this is a point you can help, and
in general anything bound to user right management (cf bin/auth).

Thanks
