The real problem is that there exists a native cygwin resolver module
Net::DNS::Resolver::Cygwin, which is just not used.
It does not need Win32::IPHelper and Win32::API, it just reads the relevant
/proc/registry/HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SYSTEM/CurrentControlSet/Services/Tcpip/P=
arameters/
registry entries.

Attached is my tested version, but I want to test it once more with
ipv6 at home.
