Perhaps now that nanohttp has been removed, it is a good time to do some related cleanups. In both Linux and Windows, gethostbyname and gethostbyaddr are marked as obsolete. POSIX.1-2008 removes the specifications of gethostbyname(), gethostbyaddr(), and h_errno, recommending the use of getaddrinfo(3) and getnameinfo(3) instead.
