There are a couple of functions that aren't (and won't be) in the Unix
module (because they're Linux-specific): a get-interface-address ioctl
and a set-IPv6-only sockopt.  And there's a binding for the
libwrap/tcp_wrappers hosts_ctl function.

You could make a case that these are generally useful, but it seemed
too little to justify separate packages.  I'm willing to be convinced
otherwise, though.
