Right, I thought I tested it, well maybe it was my version dunno but
surely it was my mistake.

[I did make check only in W2K because I don't have direct access to XP
machine now]
No thats not windows error thats postgres error (look at pqcomm.c),
which means HAVE_IPV6 is not defined. I think it should be made that
HAVE_IPV6 and HAVE_STRUCT_ADDRINFO is always defined under windows (and
also #include <ws2tcpip.h> in getaddrinfo.h otherwise it won't build)
but I am not familiar with build system so somebody else will have to do
it (I am not familiar with whole configure thingy at all).
With those changes it should finally work.
