Summary: gethostent is not available for NetBSD-1.6.2

Initial Comment:
NetBSD-1.6.2 does not define a function gethostent().

A check should be included into the configure script
that disables gethostent() on NetBSD (like it is done
for Cygwin32, too).

Can you please test the following patch? I'd like to make sure that the 
configure-part works. Apply the patch, run autoreconf, then configure, then
grep GETHOSTENT include/HsNetworkConfig.h. If configure still thinks 
gethostent() is available, mail me (privately!) the file /usr/include/netbd.h 
please.
