Disable "#define USE_THREADING_GETHOSTBYNAME" in lib/setup.h

A debugger can tell you that regardless of debug/release version.
But you should not strip away the debug-symbols in the DLL/EXE.

Don't confuse a debug-version (/MDd and _DEBUG defined) with
debug-symbols. A release version can have debug-symbols too.
It's just that MSVC's _DEBUG adds some extra heap checking and
asserts.
