Hi,

I have managed to make the configure script find gethostbyname
in msys/mingw with the attached patch.

Unfortunately, even though it now reaches the end of the
configure script, many tests fail that could probably be made to
work, so I have also attached the output of configuring since I
don't know which tests are significant.

Also, the compiling fails:

gcc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I../include -I../lib -I../lib -I/usr/local/include -g -O2
-MT url.lo -MD -MP -MF .deps/url.Tpo -c url.c -DDLL_EXPORT -DPIC -DPIC -o
url.o

Any suggestions?
