The fallback code is already in > Emacs, and it isn't Windows-specific The point is to separate concerns. Using the getaddrinfo module should make Emacs easier to maintain, since Emacs wouldn't need "#ifndef HAVE_GETADDRINFO" etc. sprinkled throughout its own source code. The total amount of code in the Emacs tarball (i.e., Emacs proper + Emacs copy of gnulib subset) should be about the same, but the "port to non-getaddrinfo" stuff would be in gnulib and would be shared better with other GNU projects.
