 Sendmail is not threaded, hence it is perfectly fine to use __res. I
 must confess I do not understand why this change was done. The commit
 message says:
 - convert to use res_n* functions
   - allows for linking against threaded libraries
 
 But I do not know what case we are talking about. I already link
 sendmail with a SASL plugin that does not use threads, but pulls
 -lpthread through other libraries, and it works fine, hence it is not
 the problem we have here.
