We already have to replace the vendor OS resolver in some cases where
the resolver is buggy. All we would be doing here is extending the
definition of "buggy" to include "supports NIS/YP", which really isn't
all that far of a stretch. :-)
In fact, in a number of cases having a libc which supports NIS/YP means
that often means that the libc's resolver is screwing up gethostbyname()
anyway, so you end up having to replace the resolver in that case
already.
