Motivation: On contrary to `DefaultNameResolver`, `DnsNameResolver` doesn't currently honor hosts file. Modifications: * Introduce `HostsFileParser` that parses `/etc/hosts` or `C:\Windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts` depending on the platform * Introduce `HostsFileEntriesResolver` that uses the former to resolve host names * Make `DnsNameResolver` check his `HostsFileEntriesResolver` prior to trying to resolve names against the DNS server * Introduce `DnsNameResolverBuilder` so we now have a builder for `DnsNameResolver`s * Additionally introduce a `CompositeNameResolver` that takes several `NameResolver`s and tries to resolve names by delegating sequentially * Change `DnsNameResolver.asAddressResolver` to return a composite and honor hosts file Result: Hosts file support when using `DnsNameResolver`. Consistent behavior with JDK implementation.

How to build
For the detailed information about building and developing Netty, please visit the developer guide. This page only gives very basic information.
You require the following to build Netty:
- Latest stable Oracle JDK 7
- Latest stable Apache Maven
- If you are on Linux, you need additional development packages installed on your system, because you'll build the native transport.
Note that this is build-time requirement. JDK 5 (for 3.x) or 6 (for 4.0+) is enough to run your Netty-based application.
Branches to look
The 'master' branch is where the development of the latest major version lives on. The development of all other versions takes place in each branch whose name is identical to <majorVersion>.<minorVersion>. For example, the development of 3.9 and 4.0 resides in the branch '3.9' and the branch '4.0' respectively.
