Summary: gethostent is not available for NetBSD-1.6.2

Initial Comment:
NetBSD-1.6.2 does not define a function gethostent().

A check should be included into the configure script
that disables gethostent() on NetBSD (like it is done
for Cygwin32, too).

>From looking at the patch, it should work. But I have the
problem that I am currently unable to build ghc on NetBSD. I
am appending the build log. Perhaps you know what's wrong
with it.

The curious thing is that I got it built using the same
configuration some days ago---if I remember correctly.

Can you please test the following patch? I'd like to make sure that the 
configure-part works. Apply the patch, run autoreconf, then configure, then
grep GETHOSTENT include/HsNetworkConfig.h. If configure still thinks 
gethostent() is available, mail me (privately!) the file /usr/include/netbd.h 
please.
