proposal : remove hostname from coreutils

[Gabriel Barazer]

Hi,

The "hostname" utility in coreutils-6.9 is still a very old version, and 
the "hostname" from net-tools 1.60 (released ~2001) is a better featured 
utility. Since net-tools doesn't seem to be maintained anymore, what 
about updating the "hostname" sources from coreutils, or simply remove 
it ? It would avoid duplicate tools, since we can't even disable its 
compilation at configure time.

Thanks,

Gabriel
