- Henrik Stoerner fix: got a report that Tru64 Unix (the unix from Digital

  when they made Alpha's) uses /etc/svc.conf for the purpose fixed below for
  other OSes. He made c-ares check for and understand it if present.

- Now c-ares will use local host name lookup _before_ DNS resolving by default
  if nothing else is told.

+- Henrik Stoerner: found out that c-ares does not look at the /etc/host.conf
   file to determine the sequence in which to search /etc/hosts and DNS.  So on
   systems where this order is defined by /etc/host.conf instead of a "lookup"
-  entry in /etc/resolv.conf, C-ARES will always default to looking in DNS
+  entry in /etc/resolv.conf, c-ares will always default to looking in DNS
   first, and /etc/hosts second.
