thanks Rémi for the quick fix!

That's a very good point. We've already prefixed all our SIP utilities 
with "sip-", but we'd like to keep the 'addrinfo' and 'localinfo' binaries 
with their current naming, as neither is really specific to SIP.

'addrinfo' is basicly a command-line interface to POSIX/RFC3493 
getaddrinfo(3) (with some sofia-sip portability addons), while 'localinfo' 
is a tool for listing the local network intefaces (for which there 
unfortunately are no standard APIs in UNIX systems, so libsofia-sip-ua has 
to do some real work here).

What do you think, can sofia-sip-bin claim these binary names? :)
