Patches welcome, I believe we have added the ground-works for this in
gnulib (i.e., self-tests and documentation) but the actual function
replacement code change needs to be done.  Alas I don't think I'll have
time to work on this soon. :-(

Alfred, feel free to apply this meanwhile if you think it is good.  We
can clean up the code when if_freenameindex is portably supported by
gnulib.
