Thanks Mark. Wouldn't that make though the distributed gnutls binaries
required windows vista+? I'd like to keep windows xp compatibility. A
way would be by doing something similar to what system-keys-win.c does
in master for the CNG API, or bundling a tiny inet_ntop, but I'm not
sure it's worth the effort. In any case, if there is a patch that would
allow compatibility with older windows systems I'll apply it.

Nikos
