No need to do that ... the engine & support code for a functions should be 
in the same thread (IIRC), so resetting it in either of them is the same ..

Or to be more precise , we may come upon a platform which does not use the
variable "errno" ... then we may have to move the errno code in lib_*.c 
into support/ anyway :-)

No #ifdef HAVE_* in the internal call code ... which is sort of the rule
of thumb as far as I can see ... 

I know I've made some mistakes with the DNS classes in lib_socket ... 
@see{struct hostent} ... But well, haven't got around to fixing that 
standard violation yet ... real bugs come first :-)

But having said that, I'm taking care not to introduce any such violations
in the future ...
