EWOULDBLOCK would be moderately hard to do since you need that
info from the kernel and it doesn't give it to you.  The best you
could do is chedk q lengths with a stat and maybe approximate it.

ECONNRESET you probably could do by looking at the err file in
the connection directory.

I note that the choice of error numbers, specially those under the
heading
	/* bsd networking software */

is not consistent with BSD.  I also miss EWOULDBLOCK and ECONNRESET,
although I confess I did not search very far for them, so if they are
to be found elsewhere, please point them out to me.

What I want to know is whether the choice of errnos has a deeper
meaning, or whether I could just replace the values with those from a
recent (NetBSD 1.6.1, in my case) *BSD distribution.

I imagine I'd have to recompile all the libraries for consistency, at
least libap.a?
