+adns is a DNS resolver library and a collection of utilities that use the
+library.  The adns library has the following features:
+* It is reasonably easy to use for simple programs which just want to
+  translate names to addresses, look up MX records, etc. 
+* It can be used in an asynchronous, non-blocking, manner. Many
+  queries can be handled simultaneously. 
+* Responses are decoded automatically into a natural representation
+  for a C program - there is no need to deal with DNS packet formats. 
+* Sanity checking (eg, name syntax checking, reverse/forward
+  correspondence, CNAME pointing to CNAME) is performed automatically. 
+* Time-to-live, CNAME and other similar information is returned in an
+  easy-to-use form, without getting in the way. 
+* There is no global state in the library; resolver state is an
+  opaque data structure which the client creates explicitly. A
+  program can have several instances of the resolver. 
+* Errors are reported to the application in a way that distinguishes
+  the various causes of failure properly. 
+* Understands conventional resolv.conf, but this can overridden by
+  environment variables. 
+* Flexibility. For example, the application can tell adns to: ignore
+  environment variables (for setuid programs), disable hostname
+  syntax sanity checks to return arbitrary data, override or ignore
+  resolv.conf in favour of supplied configuration, etc. 
+* Believed to be correct ! For example, will correctly back off to
+  TCP in case of long replies or queries, or to other nameservers if
+  several are available. It has sensible handling of bad responses etc.
