If there is a dependency on this code in the sockets layer (as has been
suggested) to implement gethostbyname() then it will have to go into the
core, although hopefully with an option to not compile it all if it's
not necessary for some users.

If there's no dependency on it (as is currently the case) then it would
be fine as a separate app in the contrib module.
