Re: Windows + IP6 progress

The mingw header has pretty much this with WINSOCK_API_LINKAGE IN OUT 
and FAR dissolved away.

The  standard test complains about it being an unresolved reference when 
it is declared as "char getaddrinfo (); ". If we remove that and instead 
include the header the test passes. I have no idea why that should be 
the case for this function and not for others.
