Might be a good idea, although I'd say at the moment I'm more
concerned about fixing the programs that break under the existing
regime (like bind! who would have thought it, eh?) than altering the
way that the aliases are handled in the kernel. Thats a project for
another week...

Dunno if thats even possible in the existing kernel code -- I'd have
to check.
