It is nearly impossible for an user to understand what the hell "Servname
not supported for ai_socktype" means. Please at least change that to
"Socket service name unknown", or something else that makes sense to someone
who DOES NOT write Unix socket code...

I don't think it's big difference between the original message and
your proposed one. Note that at least FreeBSD and Solaris8 uses your
dislike message in getaddrinfo.c and netdb.h. I dropped this request.
Closed. But if you have another opinion, and that makes really sense,
I would reconsider it. In that case, please discuss it with us.
