Grab the Cygwin sources, unpack and have a look into the file
winsup/cygwin/net.cc, functions get_2k_ifconf, get_nt_ifconf and
get_95_ifconf.  It's basically just enumerating as the interfaces
come along, using either direct registry access or the GetIpAddrTable
function.  Should be pretty simple to read.
