Hello.

They should do. Currently libsocket's lsck_gethostname() will call DJGPP's
gethostname() if it can't find it from the TCP/IP registry entries. If
lsck_gethostname() is changed to gethostname() and overrides libc's, then
I will have to include the libc code in libsocket's gethostname().

I'll add it to my libsocket to-do list to build & test some
network-enabled versions.
