[bedevtalk] recvmsg etc. for BONE?

[pete at jwgibbs.cchem.berkeley.edu]

Now that the door has been opened (:-)), I have a question myself.

I'm using Ruby (1.8.4) more and more these days, and I'm more amazed
as I go on, but there's one thing I haven't been able to bring up under
Beos -- sockets and networking.  Kind of a large hole for some purposes.

The problem is basically that Ruby's 'socket.c' makes use of 'sendmsg'
and 'recvmsg', which aren't implemented in BONE.  It looks as if they
*could* be added with a fairly simple wrapper to the other socket calls,
but I don't think I want to attempt it myself.  So I'm wondering if
anyone else has done such a thing -- or knows some other way around it?
