I should probably read the release notes more thoroughly. I knew
that after moved (and was very grateful for it!)

Now, all we need is a volunteer. I thought the guy who posted a few
short months ago was going to do it. Unfortunately, I can't remember
who it was.. Are you still listening? Would you submit your porting

It's not that different, but the resolver code and bind versions and scotty
code changes have made it different enough that it needs to be updated.
