2.0.1 is in CVS.

Daniel, as far as the compat lib that comes bundled, it is *not* the same
thing as sys-libs/lib-compat.  It includes implementations for functions
like snprintf, inet_ntop, etc for systems that lack it, and will only be
used if configure doesn't find it. I was going to patch iperf to not use
it (mainly to reduce compile time), since any modern POSIX operating system
has support for such functions, but unfortunately, upstream has added stuff
(that really should be in src/ not compat/) that the rest of the program
depends on.  Doing so, results in undefined references for quite a few
functions (warn_errno, and a sleu of thread_* functions, just to name a few).
