I didn't find a better way, sorry; ideas are welcome. And the lossage is not really so bad: after all, we've lived without gai_strerror until now, and no one complained.

Windows 9X support winsock2 as well, that's not the issue here. The issue is that these 3 functions were added on Windows XP; they were missing before that. But if you are saying that the 64-build should be linked with "-lws2_32", I'm okay with accepting patches to that effect only for that build.
