You've got a deal!

Unbound requires ldns, which is a good thing. Part of this project would
also be to enable drill so that we have a command-line dns lookup tool
in the base, but that's trivial once you've got ldns imported.

After you get those 3 elements in the base I'm happy to pull BIND out by
the roots.
