I tried many few years ago, but my patches were rejected (I forget why,
don't have the emails anymore), so I created my own variant from scratch
keeping a compatible commandline interface.
#477723 - author is trying to pass resolvconf off to a new maintainer

The other resolvconf bugs do not affect openresolv, and openresolv also
solves many of them.
