 Hmm, but it does not exist anywhere within glibc.  Also getipnodebyname() 
is still declared in <netdb.h> and available from conventional libraries. 
And what about getipnodebyaddr()?

 Where can I get any spec of getipaddr()? -- this whole IPv6 mess is
frustrating -- you need to rewrite programs once a year at least...
