Note that it is easy enough to handle numeric address strings properly
and portably in apr_getaddrinfo() by writing the code ourselves.
Unfortunately, the Tru64 getaddrinfo() won't handle AF_UNSPEC with
hosts either, so writing explicit code to handle numeric address
strings is a false solution.

Yuck!
