I must admit I'm a looser for portable code and solutions in general, but I
want to stress that I don't want to see this threaded approach done in other
operating systems. I want to push people not happy with the default resolves
go the c-ares route instead, and if that isn't good enough we fix c-ares to
become good enough...

I think the reason the code hasn't been fixed in such a long time is that
there's basically nobody around who's willing or capable of doing these fixes
so I would say the chances someone else than you would do this in the short
term is very slim! (and yes, this includes myself)
