Yes, please do. Maybe also add a link to
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms742213(VS.85).aspx
which contains much additional information? It says 1.0 should work,
but I've also noticed that it doesn't, and generally use 1.1 or 2.1
instead. This seems like a common problem with MSDN, e.g., the
documentation says getaddrinfo should be available in all Windows
versions, but it doesn't exist on Windows 2000 for example (IIRC).
