I had a moment to think at the gym, and realised that this is actually 
how it should work. The SRV lookup should be on a per protocol basis, 
not a per call to getaddrinfo() basis. /etc/services seems to be the 
logical place to put such info (and it'd be easy to implement, just 
prefix the lookup with "srv-"), but perhaps it could been seen as 
misusing the traditional function of the file.
