Well, from the point of view of the API user something along the lines
of ares_free() sure sounds good.

How did you envision the implementation? Because some parsing functions
use standard structures (hostent), in order to expand the returned data
you either wrap the standard structures in ares specific ones that would
carry the hint or return the hint as another parameter..both ways would
change the API..
