Gah!  Good find.  I'm so sorry :-)

Hmm.  The wrapper was there because I've had problems with getaddrinfo 
not being available on Windows 2000.  Not as in not compiling, but 
missing such that even a binary install of VOS won't run due to a 
getaddrinfo missing DLL symbol error.  It's very annoying.

Great work!
