+ - Minor features:
+ - Try to use system facilities for enumerating local interface
+ addresses, before falling back to our old approach (which was
+ binding a UDP socket, and calling getsockname() on it). That
+ approach was confusing people whose draconian firewall software
+ didn't like binding to UDP sockets, regardless of whether
+ packets were sent. Now we try to use getifaddrs(), SIOCGIFCONF,
+ or GetAdaptersAddresses(), depending on what the system
+ supports. Resolves ticket #1827.
