Based on some chatting in Chemnitz, it was recommended to start uploading 
libggz again after the 0.0.13 release. Since all the copyright issues are 
resolved, I recommend doing a test checkout of the SVN sources.

In version 0.0.13, libggz will optionally support GAI (asynchronous hostname 
lookups) via libanl's gethostbyname_a() and friends. This is a GNU glibc 
extension. Unfortunately, it is poorly documented, and doesn't really work 
yet. To prevent side effects, I will disable it by default for 0.0.13 so not 
much will change. If anyone meets Ulrich Drepper, tie him to his chair until 
he documents this function.
