route.c: look up the netname as-is first before the shifted name. this
makes a big speed difference, as the lookups are generally local
DNS. The shifted names can be very wrong (there is still guessing
and fudging involved) and usually go remote, taking a long time
to fail. If you have the RFC reccomended netnames in your reverse
lookups, this is even faster still.
main.c: dont do a sethostent(1) - this is causing the resolver to use a
VC (tcp) connection to the resolver, which has more overheads and
is slower than the default UDP case. This once made sense when
everything was based on text host tables.

This is a bulk mport of Mike's IPX/SPX protocol stacks and all the
related gunf that goes with it..
it is not guaranteed to work 100% correctly at this time
but as we had several people trying to work on it
I figured it would be better to get it checked in so
they could all get teh same thing to work on..
Mikes been using it for a year or so
but on 2.0
more changes and stuff will be merged in from other developers now that this is in.
