+Gnulib module: gethostname

+Portability problems fixed by Gnulib:
+@itemize
+@item
+On mingw and MSVC 9, this function has a prototype that differs from that
+specified by POSIX, and it is defined only in the ws2_32 library.
+@end itemize
+
+Portability problems not fixed by Gnulib:
+@itemize
+@item
+This function's second argument type is @code{int} instead of @code{size_t}
+on some platforms:
+OSF/1 5.1, Solaris 10.
+@item
+If the given buffer is too small for the host name, some implementations
+fail with @code{EINVAL}, instead of returning a truncated host name.
