The follow patch make getaddrinfo work (it seems Windows has a getaddrinfo implementation, although it doesn't have gai_strerror) _except_ that applications need to initialize Windows' socket code manually, by calling WSAStartup. I'm not sure how to handle that. One solution is to create gl_getaddrinfo which make sure WSAStartup is called, and then invoke getaddrinfo. But that forces all applications to call gl_getaddrinfo rather than getaddrinfo. That seem rather ugly. Ideas?
Unless there is a simple concrete solution to this, I'm inclined to install the patch below and document that people using this module will have to call WSAStartup manually, if that function exists in -lws2_32. PS. mingw32 doesn't have netdb.h either. Perhaps something similar as the sys_socket module should be done for it, to avoid the HAVE_NETDB_H stuff. I think ws2tcpip.h contain most of the useful definitions.
