Subject: [PATCH] - As was pointed out to me by Andreas Schuldei, the
 MAXHOSTNAMELEN define is   not posix or anything and thus c-ares failed to
 build on hurd (and possibly   elsewhere). The define was also somewhat
 artificially used in the windows   port. Now, I instead rewrote the use of
 gethostbyname to enlarge the host   name buffer in case of need and totally
 avoid the use of the MAXHOSTNAMELEN   define. I thus also removed the defien
 from the namser.h file where it was   once added for the windows build.

  I also fixed init_by_defaults() function to not leak memory in case if
  error.
