Subject: [RFC] get/freeifaddrs implementation ported from newlib

Hello,
Here's a patch with getifaddrs & freeifaddrs.
I don't consider it ready to push yet, but would like comments/improvements.
The header is my own work, public domain; the C source is BSDi which is essentially the same as MIT.
I based it on the newlib 1.16.0 version, with the macros removed.
(newlib later removed getifaddrs either because it was not used or because it conditionally included a header with 4-clause BSD license; the code including that header has been removed).

Testing: I could only test on i386 with ipv4; there's a note suggesting that inet4 on LP64 (for us, x86_64) may be broken. ipv6 should also be tested.

The test is copy-pasted from getifaddrs(3).

HTH,
Isaac Dunham <idunham@...abit.com>
