I like this very much. Michael (or anyone caring about libossupport),
can I apply these wrappers to libossupport?

(And yes, I'd like to remove any and all use of inet_nto[pa]/[pa]ton()
and replace everything by these two, because working with different
(e.g. IPv4 AND IPv6) families is imo much easier using
getaddr/nameinfo() than using inet_xtoy().)
