Why? That's worked just fine. I'd much rather avoid #ifdeffery,
and minimize BusyBox-specific bits.
Having something that works outside BusyBox is important too ... and
right now, this is the only reasonably conformant implementation I
know about on Linux. Until there are real choices, I'll avoid doing
anything that couples this one too strongly with BusyBox.

Again, why? The current code works fine, is portable, and it's
not as if there'd be significant savings in object for the handful
of messages that'd be affected. Last time I measured, the whole
thing was under 2KB on ARM.
Related topic: I was just scanning the HOWL list and it looks as
if there's finally work afoot to come up with a GPL-compatible
version of what mDNSResponder does. So now's a good time for folk
to start diving into this stuff, especially anyone who's interested
in the system integration issues (e.g. service registration/lookup)
and the dynamic network (re)configuration issues.
