/etc/resolv.conf needs work anyway. It was a configuration file but is
no longer due to ppp/dhcp/...other dynamic thing...
/etc/resolv.conf is a configuration file on systems with
static connection and changed by the programs on systems with dynamic
connection, which is quite a strange situation.
I think this should be split in something holding a inital configuration
(perhaps with something like nameserver dynamic to allow it beeing
changed) and the one acutally read by libresolv and others.
