avahi-resolve-host-name.c builds actually two programs: a-r-host-name
and a-r-address. Depending on the value of argv[0] you get either one
or the other. 

When I implemented that i tried to replace in C what Avahi 0.5 already
provided in Python. For better compatibility with 0.5 the tools have
the same names and accept exactly the same command line arguments as
the old versions. I think that "compatibility" is a good reason to
leave the stuff as it is now. Don't you think?
