No, but does anybody use it? It _may_ be interesting as a git-merge-base thing, but then we should probably add it to git-merge-base (which actually _does_ do edges these days, but it just only shows the most recent one..)

I actually think the new code is totally broken. If you want to listen to several sockets, you should just run several daemons. Yeah, yeah, it won't give you "global child control" etc, but I doubt we care.

But I don't think it's a huge issue, since most serious users are likely to use the "--inetd" flag and use inetd as the real daemon anyway (ie the built-in daemon code is most useful for normal users just setting up their own quick thing).
