Last time I asked I was told to not even think about adding the sctp 
functionality which currently resides in libsctp.  Therefore I'm also 
reluctant to add this patch especially since the cost to existing 
programs is nonzero.  Suddenly all programs which don't specify a 
protocol in the getaddrinfo call also get the sctp reply.  And those are 
not really useful unless the entire SCTP API is available.
