seb 40b4c40b4a Initial import of hesiod-3.0.2.
Provided in PR 14649 by Kevin P. Neal <kpneal@pobox.com>.

Minor enhancements and buildlink.mk made by seb.
A package builder can force the use of this package by defining NEED_HESIOD in
case the base system already provides Hesiod API in the C library.
Note: NetBSD's C library provides minimum Hesiod support, the library included
in this package is the MIT original one and so provides the whole Hesiod API.

Hesiod is a name service library that can provide general name service for a
variety of applications. It is based on the Domain Name system (DNS).
The Hesiod library and hesinfo tool allow easy queries to Hesiod name service.
