The getaddrinfo function exists in ws2tcpip.h and -lws2_32 on Windows
XP. The function declaration is present if @code{WINVER >= 0x0501}.

+Windows 2000 does not have getaddrinfo in its @file{WS2_32.DLL}.
Thus, if you want to assume Windows XP or later, you can add
AC_DEFINE(WINVER, 0x0501) to avoid compiling to (partial) getaddrinfo
implementation.
-If you want to support Windows 2000, don't do anything, but be aware
-that gnulib will use its own (partial) getaddrinfo implementation even
-on Windows XP. Currently the code does not attempt to determine if
-the getaddrinfo function is available during runtime.

-Todo: Make getaddrinfo.c open the WS2_32.DLL and check for the
-getaddrinfo symbol and use it if present, otherwise fall back to our
-own implementation.
