If at least one other system is going to want to have /etc/resolv.conf
be a symlink to something else, then I guess I'll put together a patch
to move the management of libc resolver info out of
named-manager/nm-named-manager.c and into NetworkManagerSystem.c
(where it can cleanly call into code from backends/whatever.c).

Of course, Colin won't like it.
