I fixed some compiler warnings and applied your patches to the cvs
sources. I also extended the distro-check in configure.in (uses the rpm
method), but I can not verify if that would work.

Ooops, yes. The comparisions are actually needles and I removed them. 
It seems there is a difference between the maximum dname sizes 
implemented by the resolver lib and what DNS and mDNS actually may use.
draft-ceshire...-03, Sect. 3.3 and RFC 1035 both state that domain names
are at most 255 bytes long.

I introduced another constant, MAXDSTRING that is used in places where a
simple string is used and left MAXDNAME as limit for everything that is
a domain name.
