I'm not sure how to test the functionality of the software, but the
patch itself LGTM.

To test it, follow the steps in the README on a remote machine:

https://github.com/Cofyc/dnscrypt-wrapper#usage

..and set up dnscrypt-proxy on your local computer to talk to it. Then
add 'nameserver 127.0.0.1' to resolv.conf.

I'm currently using this to bypass a DNS filter, so I know it works ;-)

Cool, thanks for testing. I'll commit these in a few days, unless some
autotools guru steps in and figures out how to skip the unnecessary
"libltdl" build in dnscrypt-proxy :-)

I would appreciate if you could be a bit more verbose here. What it this
"dnscrypt" thing?

Thanks, you are right. I put all the effort into the dnscrypt-proxy
package. I've updated it to read:

"@command{dnscrypt-wrapper} is a tool to expose a name server over the
@code{dnscrypt} protocol.  It can be used as an endpoint for the
@command{dnscrypt-proxy} client to securely tunnel DNS requests between
the two."

This (second description) is clear enough in my opinion.  Whoever
sets up (and runs) an dns server knows what dnscrypt is, and
whoever wants to connect to an dnscrypt enabled dns server /
batch of servers already got provided with the details to do so.
This description gives enough details and words to look them up
for people not familar with the topic.
