--------------------------------------------------------------

version 2.57
            Add patches to allow build under Android.

            Provide our own header for the DNS protocol, rather than
            relying on arpa/nameser.h. This has proved more or less
            defective over the years and the final straw is that it's
            effectively empty on Android.

            Fix regression in 2.56 which caused hex constants in
            configuration to be rejected if they contain the '*'
            wildcard.

            Correct wrong casts of arguments to ctype.h functions,
            isdigit(), isxdigit() etc. Thanks to Matthias Andree for
            spotting this.

            Allow build with IDN support independently from i18n.
            IDN support continues to be included automatically
            when i18n is included.
            'make COPTS=-DHAVE_IDN' is the magic incantation.

            Modify check on extraneous command line junk (added in
            2.56) so that it doesn't complain about extra _empty_
            arguments. Otherwise this breaks libvirt.
