There's something mighty fishy about that. AC_REPLACE_FUNCS works on
Windows for the other cases it's used for (no?), so what's different
about getaddrinfo? Perhaps Microsoft has #define'd that name as
something else, or some equally ugly crock? It'd be useful to look into
their header files and see exactly how and where getaddrinfo is
declared.
