>Description:
IEEE Std 1003.1-2001 and XNS5 both define struct netent to have the
following members:

char	*n_name
char	**n_aliases
int	n_addrtype
uint32_t n_net

NetBSD, though, defines n_net to be unsigned long.  This is a problem on
LP64 platforms.

>How-To-Repeat:
Inspection of <netdb.h> and comparison with
<http://www.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/007904975/basedefs/netdb.h.html>

>Fix:
All functions handing netents will need to be versioned.
