Oh, I see.  The friendlyname is there, but struct ifaddrs is missing a
pointer to it.  That's the confusion you get when reusing the same
function and structure type for multiple APIs.

This could be easily rectified by utilizing the ifa_data pointer which
is unused so far.  It could point to a structure pointing to the other
values collected but not yet exposed by getifaddrs, e.g.:

  struct ifall_data
  {
    struct sockaddr         ifa_hwaddr;
    int                     ifa_metric;
    int                     ifa_mtu;
    int                     ifa_ifindex;
    struct ifreq_frndlyname ifa_frndlyname;
  };

  ifa_data =3D pointer to ifall_data;

Would that help to get this into Cygwin 2.5.0?
