trying to add DNS code to C++ program

Got it to build!

The magic incantations were:

1. Do not use any of the headers from bind-devel except for <arpa/nameser.h>

2. Explicitly #define BIND_RES_POSIX3 before including any header files

3. Make sure to include -lbind on the command line (this is the only one of 
the three that I deem "obvious")

This seems pretty weird to me. It surely can't be the way it's supposed to 
work.

I fully expect something else to break as I actually add DNS code :-( The 
first two incantations above don't have the appearance of robustness.
