annotate libpurple/dnsquery.h @ 15705:6a0b9734a722

The UI can now use the GaimDnsQueryUiOps to handle DNS resolving itself; if this is done, the platform-specific DNS query code won't be used. This will be used in Adium to use an efficient threads-based DNS resolve (since Adium is already multithreaded, this is significantly cheaper than fork()).
