I can think of a few ways, but all of them involve either non-cygwin
programs or writing your own.  The simplest (on Win2k) is to parse the
output of either "nslookup `hostname`" or "ipconfig".  I'm also sure
there's a programmatic way to do this -- and if you do figure this one
out, please consider submitting a patch for "hostname" (which is part of
the sh-utils package) to implement the "-i" option.
