This function should be moved to TW> socket.py, if that module ever gets a Python wrapper. Should I work on this for 2.0? Specifically 1) moving socketmodule to socket and writing a socket.py wrapper; 2) exporting makefqdn() in socket.py instead of smtplib. It makes no sense for makefqdn to live in smtplib. I'd be willing to do this.

Note that Windows already has a socket.py module (under plat-win or somesuch). You will want to integrate that with any new socket.py that you implement.

Also note that Windows does some funny stuff in socketmodule.c to export itself as _socket. (the *.dsp files already build it as _socket.dll)
