TCP sockets and SO_REUSEADDR

[Thomas Themel]

Hi,

is there any reason why SO_REUSEADDR isn't set when opening a TCP listen socket
on Unix? I try to have a somewhat productive setup that includes running a
custom DBus config with TCP listeners, but killing and restarting the
dbus-daemon is tiresome because I have to wait for the TIME_WAIT sockets from
ex-clients to disappear before coming back up. Patch vs HEAD attached.

ciao,
