Are the prepackaged binaries built on NT4 too? I found a way to get
getaddrinfo detected it works properly (which somewhat shocked me), but I
have no way to test it on obsolete Windows releases.

I can write a DLL-based shim that will look in ws2_32.dll first, then the
older IPv6 preview code in wship6.dll, and if neither one is present, it
will simply fail. If I do that, do you have a way to test it on, say,
Windows 2000 or 2003 Server or such?
