Hmmm,

Something that might be worth mentioning is that there existed a typedef
for this way back in 1997 on cygwin, in netdb.h.  For whatever reason, it
was removed from there.  I found it in an old changelog:
http://www.mit.edu/afs/athena/software/cygnus/src/winsup/ChangeLog

I guess for all you people hunting for your ancient versions of cygwin, I
guess MIT is the place to go ;).

Cheers,
Nicholas
