Well, POSIX doesn't have PF_ constants either.  We nominally
distinguish PF_ and AF_ though they have identical numeric values, but
EPFNOSUPPORT and EAFNOSUPPORT have different numeric values, thus we
have an interesting problem here (posixly correct vs internally
consistent).

Anyway, my reading of the
http://www.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/007908799/xns/socket.html is that
unsupported arguments should be reported as:

domain   - EAFNOSUPPORT (EPFNOSUPPORT)
type     - EPROTOTYPE
protocol - EPROTONOSUPPORT

pffindproto and pffindtype return NULL w/out indicating which argument
caused the problem.
