Ah.  I thought I had left the inet_in and inet_out alone before sending
in the patches but I wasn't sure and I have made more drastic changes
locally since then so I couldn't tell for sure.

However, I have removed the comments but it still thinks that there is
no inet type at all.

While I'm posting anyway, Paul; do you have an ETA yet?

Sure.  Is there an existing file for the existing inet type that I can
start working on?
