That resolv_wrapper can redirect dns queries to a DNS server only works on 
Linux!

The reason is that only on Linux we have a libresolv library, so 
socket_wrapper can intercept the traffic. On other platforms the functions are 
part of libc. This means that the internal socket functions are bound first 
and called directly.

resolv_wrapper is turned on by default and runs on every platform we support. 
Currently it is in DNS faking mode for all platform including Linux.

See selftest/wscript search for FIXME
