The lack of hes_init() is a bug, sort of. (It turns out you never
need to call hes_init() in a Hesiod 1.x application, but the
compatibility stuff should be as compatible as possible.) I can add a
#define, sure. For lack of a better name, I'll call it
HESIOD_INTERFACES, in reference to the "hesiod_" prefix.

I'll give it a try. If I can't reproduce it myself, I'd be interested
in knowing if you could verify that the configuration file is being
successfully opened and read (in fact, it should be pretty easy to
walk through the code and see what's going wrong).
