because of performance ?  the default file is blank/comments only, and so the 
getaddrinfo (from what i can see) simply seeks through it, does nothing, and 
uses the compiled in defaults.  that's also what the gai.conf file says it 
will do.  the code itself has caching checks to make sure it doesn't get re-
read if it hasn't changed.  i suspect the overhead here is equivalent to 
system noise.
