Hey David,

Sorry, I would've replied sooner but my DSL crapped out before I
finished testing this stuff out. Luckily it came on sooner than they
said it would (it was an area outage).

Anyway, I've attached a patch that works for me on XP and still
compiles fine on Linux. Can you try it out with your header reorder
and see if it works on 2000, and any other Windows machines you can
test on?

You had the right idea about changing the constness of the arguments.
The only other thing needed was to set it up to use the
inet_ntop()/inet_pton() Windows provides. Hopefully this will work on
other Windows machines as well.
