from a quick grep, this seems to be defined in include/wsockcompat.h
that should be no surprise, as getaddrinfo is (afaik) actually defined in 
Ws2_32.dll on my build box; the error i had originally occured when _linking_.
however, that dll is only available on NT 5.1 (XP) or newer.

cl.exe says:

Microsoft (R) 32-bit C/C++ Optimizing Compiler Version 14.00.50727.762 for 
80x86

not that i have any clue about the setup, i just type "build" and fix what 
breaks :)
actually i'm compiling on a newer version of NT, let me see, it says:
Windows Server 2003 R2

but the result should run on win 2000 as well, which does not have the 
Ws2_32.dll; according to msdn "Wspiapi.h" should work in that case as 
well. hmm, maybe i should test if it actually runs, if i can find a win 
2000 box around here...
