Libdnsres provides a non-blocking thread-safe API for resolving DNS
names. It requires that your main application is built on top of
libevent. Libdnsres' API essentially mirrors the traditional
gethostbyname and getaddrinfo interfaces. All return values have been
replaced by callbacks instead.
The code borrows heavily from the BSD resolver library. In fact, it is
an extremely ugly hack to make the BSD resolver library non-blocking and
thread-safe without changing the API too much.
