I don't see any reason to keep the NIS version (especially given its
gargantuan size!  ;-).

My reasoning is that if a NetBSD/sparc machine is really using NIS to
resolve hostnames then it will be doing so via /etc/resolv.conf (with
"lookup yp"), and though this imposes an extra level of function calls,
this seems to be the NetBSD way of doing things.

Nothing is lost by deleting the NIS version.
