873	Libinet inetfaces should not contain hidden state	Jiri Svoboda	Jiri Svoboda	"Libinet's interfaces dhcp.h, dnsr.h, inet.h, inetcfg.h and inetping.h contain hidden state. They need to be initialized with an xxx_init() function, which opens the corresponding service and stores the session in a hidden global variable.

Instead they should have an xxx_open() function that would return an object representing the service.

Note that this is implemented correctly in libinet's tcp.h, udp.h and iplink.h.
