Added, now in the latest patch set.

See below

Thats quite difficult: we are at the mercy of Sys::Hostname there, and Im not 
convinced there is a better more complete way, that is universallly 
available :-(
See man Sys::Hostname for more details on how the hostname is determined: you 
may be able to change the config of your host to get a better answer.

In the light of that, do you still wish for item 2 above?

Cheers.
