Nope.

Ugh. Libraries should never, I say NEVER, be written in C++.

caveat #2:

It is GPL-licensed, as adns is, which is the prime reason we've ruled out
adns in the first place (and firedns too).

libdenise exists only because we have yet to find an asynch DNS resolver that
isn't GPLed and that is good! The moment we find one, we can dump libdenise!
