Yes - and I need to export some more functions.  The new (bind 8.2.2)
interface is not exported yet.

nameser_compat is included by nameser.h.  No change should be neccessary.

Here's an entry for the NEWS file:

* The resolver code has been updated from bind 8.2.2-5 which supports
  threads. No changes should be necessary for user programs.  The
  integration was done by Andreas Jaeger and Adam D. Bradley.

Sorry for the late reply.  I've had a bad flu and I'm still
recovering.
