Description
I wanted to do some IP lookup in Ruby with the Resolv library, but I got an immediate error "Unable to find /etc/hosts".
I fixed the problem for myself, by just linking hosts and resolv.conf from the settings folder, but I'm not sure what the general solution is. Was it not such a good idea to relocate those files, or should we just expect all apps to be rewritten to conform?
Note:

The proper fix would be a proper port. Ruby cannot even expect the host system to have a hosts file anyway (even though even Windows has one, but not in /etc either). Every system is different.
