It looks OK, except for one change.  Not sure where we left the
conversation last, but I'm not sure if just because resolvconf is
installed means that it's actually being used.  Most of the time you can
have a package installed, but you don't have to enable it.  For the
moment, I'd suggest either (1) #ifdef-ing the resolvconf specific stuff
with #ifdef DEBIAN, or (2) adding a configure switch for
--with-resolv-conf=yes which would #define USE_RESOLVCONF, and then
protect the resolvconf stuff with #ifdef USE_RESOLVCONF.

Agreed, though I think the behavior change here is just to make searches
> domain, while right now it's the other way around.  I'm not exactly
sure whether that's the right thing to do but we should probably be
following the current standards and doing backwards-compat as the
fallback unless there's a major problem.
