The hesiod library (hes_resolve, specifically) returns errors by
making the user call hes_error. However, there are no strings defined
for the return value, only a few #defines to compare against.
I have thrown together a com_err section of entries for another
application but could easily make this a real library routine. Is
anyone working on hesiod, and in any case, to whose attention should
this be brought?
