Please don't change the existing API. In this case it could be solved
just by recompiling all dependant programs, but generally changing
existing API causes a lot of troubles (beware not adding new functions
and data types - but really changing existing functions).

That depends on what your needs are? Do you need full validating
resolver (libunbound) or you just want to play around with DNS packets
(libldns)?
