[PATCH] connect's addrlen should be sizeof(local), not the contained path's length. Permits layer23 to work on OS X.

[David Wilson]

That's indeed the case, on OS X connect() will fail with ENOENT unless
the correct size is used. I just noticed I've changed the formatting
in that patch. Is there a particular code style adhered to?

With this patch, the pl2303 driver from
http://www.prolific.com.tw/eng/downloads.asp?id=31 ,
/dev/tty.usbserial , MacPorts arm-elf-gcc and RANLIB=arm-elf-ranlib,
things appear to just work on OS X. I will try to send another patch
for the ranlib change (system ranlib on OS X is Mach O).

Finally is there a good default set of git format-patch flags to use?
That was my first ever attempt, and in particular the git log message
didn't make it into the body at all.
