A new patch is attached that also fixes ares_dup() and adds the manpage.

Apart from the high-level summary in the patch itself, here's the changes:

  * struct "server state" no longer holds the address in "struct
in_addr" but rather "struct addrinfo *"
  * when initializing from resolv.conf, getaddrinfo() is used in place
of inet_addr()
  * a new API call ares_set_nameserves which can set the nameservers used
  * in order not to break "struct ares_options", ares_save_options and
ares_init_options still works with v4 nameservers only. ares_dup() works
for both v4 and v6 servers.

More info is, of course, in the patch :-)
