As far as I know there is no getnameinfo_a, so I need the background
thread anyway. From reading the getaddrinfo_a documentation it also
seems to use asynchronous signals, which IMHO makes it inappropriate for
use in a library.

I will look at adding a way to programmatically set the size of the
resolver thread pool, for applications that care. Something like:

  io_service i;
  tcp::resolver_service* s = new tcp::resolver_service(i, 5);
  add_service(i, s);

Cheers,
Chris
