Whenever we encounter a function that doesn't have a direct kernel
counterpart (gethostbyname(), for example), we will attempt
to duplicate the needed functionality within KORBit. This can be done
by copying the requisite code out of the GNU C
Library7, and
either in-lining it within KORBit, or by providing it in a support
file. We foresee this process as being akin to manual labor - it
doesn't require much thinking, it just requires some hard work.
