[Haskell-beginners] Convert numeric IP to Network.Socket.HostAddress

[Michael Snoyman]

You can use the functionality in Data.IP[1] (from iproutes) to accomplish
this. You'd first use `read` (or a safer version thereof, like
Safe.readMay) to convert a String to an IPv4, and then toHostAddress to
convert that to a HostAddress.
