LDAP, etc. This API is based on libasyncns, but it has been
cleaned up for inclusion in systemd.

merged them into a single library, libsystemd.so, which
provides all symbols. The reason for this is cyclic
dependencies, as these libraries tend to use each other's
- symbols. So far, we've managed to workaround that by linking a
- copy of a good part of our code into each of these libraries
- again and again, which, however, makes certain things hard to
- do, like sharing static variables. Also, it substantially
