As you are already aware, this has been opened in buzilla and a suggested
patch has been provided.  I can confirm that the patch works great and I
recommend it to be used... getaddrinfo() is now being properly detected in
Tru64 and gets used.

I still run into a problem with gai.h where getnameinfo() for Tru64 is
different than what the prototype in that header file describes... as a
result, the compilation process halts with a fatal error.  I wrapped the
getnameinfo() prototypes with #ifndef HAVE_GETNAMEINFO/#endif, and wrapped
the getaddrinfo() and freeaddrinfo() prototypes with a HAVE_GETADDRINFO
like block.  I will provide that in a patch in the next mailing.
