I personally don't think GResolver is that bad. Its unlikely that we
will put any other resolver in glib/gio or otherwise in the G namespace,
and conflicts with resolvers in other namespaces are not really a
problem either in C or in bindings.

I'm not violently opposed to GDnsResolver if people point out real
causes for concern though.
