Does anyone know of a c-function that will automatically fill the
required structures given any of these address forms:

holly
holly:echo
holly:7
129.82.100.75
129.82.100.75:echo
129.82.100.75:7

I can do all these by hand, I suppose, using gethostbyname and
the like, but I don't think these calls will understand the use
of dotted decimal forms.

Someone /must/ have written this code already, though!
