Don't know anything about this library, save from what I could grok from 
a quick look.. what's the advantage of using it, instead of just ripping
out the minimum to support client lookups + userland from the ISC code?

(e.g. doesn't this just substitute one lesser known 3rd party software 
in contrib for another one, embedded into libc)
