	The first patch is for convenience on Windows platform. It contains
	standard (stderror()-like) error messages for (some) Winsock errors.

	The second patch is due to broken gethostbyname() on some
	platforms. ("0" is valid IP address - dot notation without a dot,
	like 0xfffffc00 when specifying a netmask. Unfortunately, "0" is not
	regonized by some Windows platforms.)

	Regards,
				Pekka Pessi
