Why would c-ares be fine for other operating systems but not good
enough for Windows?

The OP mentioned needing to resolve Windows local domain suffixes, but
other OSes also have local name resolution rules. Doesn't that mean
c-ares needs to support those for the same reasons? For example,
*.local does Multicast DNS on some systems. (Maybe that's even what
the Windows requirement was about?)
