Hi,

  I'd like to import these IGMPv3 patches from KPN/ICSI (
http://home.hetnet.nl/~wilbertdg/igmpv3.html ), but I'm wary of one
problem: the IGMPv3 API requires that <netinet/in.h> depends on
<sys/socket.h>, due to the use of struct sockaddr_storage in structs that
are past to setsockopt().

  The easy solution is to #include <sys/socket.h> in <netinet/in.h>
(perhaps protected with #ifndef _SYS_SOCKET_H_), but I've got the feeling
that'll get some pushback.  The API is still being specified (although
it's also been implemented a couple of places, so changes will have to
be well-justified); the current draft is available at

http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-ietf-idmr-msf-api-02.txt

  I'm open to any comments.

Thanks,
  Bill
