gethostbyaddr(). (Plain gethostbyname() returns only the IP address.)
This moves the code shared by gethostbyaddr() and gethostbyname_ex()
to a subroutine.
Original patch by Dan Stromberg; some tweaks by GvR.
so that our #ifdef test has the wrong effect. Substitute hardcoded
values for some important symbols (but not for the whole range -- some
are pretty obscure so it's not worth it).
(1) Use PyErr_NewException("module.class", NULL, NULL) to create the
exception object.
(2) Remove all calls to Py_FatalError(); instead, return or
ignore the errors -- the import code now checks PyErr_Occurred()
after calling a module's init function, so it's no longer a
fatal error for the initialization to fail.
Also did some small cleanups, e.g. removed unnecessary test for
"already initialized" from initfpectl(), and unified
initposix()/initnt().
I haven't checked this very thoroughly, so while the changes are
pretty trivial -- beware of untested code!
