named support now requires passing --with-named



Hi,

I just committed code which defaults to writing resolv.conf directly
unless --with-named is passed.

The support is most useful for two reasons:

1) It avoids issues with applications (i.e. glibc) not noticing changes
   to resolv.conf.  
2) Longer term when NetworkManager gets VPN support, you can tell
   NetworkManager to use e.g. my corporate nameserver only for resolving
   mycompany.com, and the default nameservers for everything else.  This
   is not possible using resolv.conf.

But if for whatever reason a dependency on BIND outweighs these
benefits, you now have the option to not use it.
