Nice job!

OK, I'm keen to get this into jython.

What is the best way forward?

1. Use jnr-netdb as an external library dependency?

2. Check in the source for jnr-netdb into the jython source tree?

I tried to build jnr-netdb, using ant, but it failed due to the
absence of a file called "jaffl.git/build.xml". The netbeans build
fails with the "jaffl" being marked as a "missing project". What is
the best way forward here?

Thanks for all your great work Wayne!

Alan.
