The Single Unix Spec includes inet_ntoa but not inet_ntop.

The buildfarm unfortunately contains only a subset of the platforms
we care about. I don't think this problem is large enough to justify
taking a portability risk by depending on non-SUS library functions.
If you want to do this, please do it as suggested previously, ie depend
on the copy of the code we have internally.
