added basic nsswitch support - this allows you to use a "wins" entry
in a /etc/nsswitch.conf hosts line.
Only tested on RH6.1, but should work on a broad range of Linux
distributions. It could probably be made to work with Solaris pretty
easily.
It does not build by default. Build it with "make nsswitch"
(This used to be commit 4058eb5bffeec539f71786580376419ea5749351)
