Re: Plan for improving IP_PKTINFO socket option handling

[Tom Ivar Helbekkmo <tih%hamartun.priv.no@localhost>]

Now that this is in place, I'm preparing a pull request for PowerDNS, to
get it to compile out of the box on NetBSD.  Among other things, I need
to differentiate between NetBSD versions before and after my changes, to
keep older versions from trying to use the IP_PKTINFO socket option.

Since the first version with everything correctly in place is 8.99.11,
I'm doing this in the appropriate header file:

#if defined(__NetBSD_Version__) && __NetBSD_Version__ < 899001100 && defined(IP_PKTINFO)
#undef IP_PKTINFO
#endif

The idea is that it'll be used for our ongoing -current starting with
8.99.11, and that our first official version to have the new code will
be NetBSD 9.

If my thinking is wrong, someone please let me know!  :)
