I was thinking that putting this in newlib would potentially provide a base for other systems that needed similar functionality. I'm not aware of any prohibition against using the Windows API in newlib. I'm not against putting this into a winsup/resolver directory either. I just thought it would be more universally useful in newlib. cgf
