Yes, inet_ntop is sufficient for both.  I had grepp'ed for 'ntoa' and
'ntop' in gdb/gnulib and didn't find any matches, so I assumed that
meant there wasn't a module.  Is gdb/gnulib a subset of the actual gnulib
and new bits are imported on demand?

Hmm, reading update-gnulib.sh, it seems so.  I'll look at what is involved
in doing that.
