Yeah, right.

Thanks for the offer.  However, I'm in the process of restructuring
the network stuff.  I'm just testing inet_aton, inet_ntoa and
inet_network from FreeBSD which seem to be fine for Cygwin, too,
so I will use them.  inet_pton and inet_ntop are using these functions
so the are on the safe side.  New AF_INET6 capable versions of inet_pton
and inet_ntop are already in the loop, too.
