Synchronizes makeHost() and its dependent functions. Also refactors the same and makeGuest() to extract their commonalities and restore the more succinct form they possessed before the synchronization effort began. As part of the refactor, #2121 was fixed.
Note to reviewers: I recommend going commit-by-commit.
