I`m submitting a bug that occurs in version 0.7.1 of formencode, on
Windows, in the Email validator.

The problem is in the file formencode/validators.py (version 0.7.1)
just after the DNS library is imported (line 45).

It calls DNS.ParseResolvConf() (located in DNS/Base.py), which is a unix
specific call to load the name servers. Under windows, that fails with
"Cannot find /etc/resolv.conf".

Changing that line to DNS.DiscoverNameServers(), which works for both
Unix and Windows, does the trick.
(DiscoverNameServers() calls ParseResolvConf() if sys.platform is
neither "win32" nor "nt").

Thanks
