Jeff, I hope the new changes are more palatable.
A few things still bug me... first that OS2 discrepancy, but I'm sure
that will be fixed soon.
Second, you can't use h_errno in the SYSERR space. Why? Because
NETDB_INTERNAL is a -1 value (on BSD 4.6) that we aren't picking up,
and it won't fall into the SYSERR numeric range.
Seems that h_errno values either:
1. need to be mapped to their errno equivalents (and grab the real
errno for NETDB_INTERNAL errors), or...
2. need their very own space, just like EAI.
But I'd really rather we remapped EAI and r_errno values into the errno
space with appropriate values.
