    I haven't yet started playing with it, but am I right in that nobody
    has written a DNS layer for this yet?  If so, my plans are for writing
    a dns.el to use `make-network-process' to implement a DNS lookup
    thing.  (With several concurrent requests, time outs, etc.)

This is a useful facility.  Its usefulness is broader than GNUS, so
let's put it in the /net subdirectory and not treat it as part of
GNUS.
