FWIW, I'm okay thinking about adding new library dependencies so long
as the libraries are portable enough; libunbound and ldns have a
reasonably good reputation.  (And our friends at NLnet labs probably
wouldn't mind another bunch of users.)

I believe that as we add dnssec support, we are going to cross the
threshold of stuff we'd be willing to clone ourselves, since writing
our own dnssec code would be absurd.
