I'll keep that approach in mind if it seems like we need it.

I also considered making WEAK mean we'd always continue on listen
failures, even if all of them fail. Maybe that's a bit unexpected?
But it would allow an option to "forward single port X, if you can"
which seems like it might be useful.

Good idea, that simplifies things a bit too. This code predates my
extension to inany_ntop(), and I forgot to rework it to take
advantage.
