Most of your suggestions are good, except:

I kept that in so people would know olc isn't done :-).

Seems just as inconvenient to have it load into your inventory if
you're loading for someone else..

Ack.. I keep meaning to look for those. (Go to the bugtraq archive
at www.geek-girl.com and search for gethostbyname...)

Circle will definitely have these eventually, but I will probably not
incorporate it into the main code until the next major revision
(especially since there is a patch available to do it now).

I did this a few patchlevels ago but there were so many complaints
that I changed it back.

The buffer system seemed like a really good idea at the time, but for
this exact reason it seems like a lot more trouble than it's worth.
I'll take a look at your system. Unfortunately, I kind of like the
return-style more than the if-else-else-else-else..... style, because
I think the return style is easier to read and write.
