This can also be done for win95.  I have code for NT and for 95 that
reads the tcp/ip config information from the registry for both static
and dhcp assigned addresses.  It is not integrated into cygwin, I just
did it as proof of concept (I intended to fold it into cygwin, but I'm
busy with so many other things, I havent gotten around to it).

If anyone is interested in the code, let me know.
