Now as to whether it should be spun as a separate dll/import library (-lresolv), is another matter, entirely. Of course, feel free to disagree, as I could be wrong ;-).
I think it belongs in newlib, too. Anyone willing to take a shot at getting it into newlib?
Is newlib the right place? minires uses the Windows API to find the dns servers and the domain name. Is there a POSIX way to get those?
If so, it could be implemented in Cygwin. In the long run the lookups should use the Windows resolver (on systems >= Win2000). BTW, that's why it's 0.95 and not 1.00
I was thinking that putting this in newlib would potentially provide a base for other systems that needed similar functionality. I'm not aware of any prohibition against using the Windows API in newlib.
I'm not against putting this into a winsup/resolver directory either. I just thought it would be more universally useful in newlib.
The code being discussed can be downloaded from here: http://ftp.uni-erlangen.de/pub/pc/gnuwin32/cygwin/porters/Humblet_Pierre_A/V1.1/minires-0.95-src.tar.gz
Cheers, Nicholas
