Update for Win2K support

Hello,

I've got the 0.100 version which has my code for compilation under Windows 
2000. By default, the binary is not built in a compatible way with Win2K (i.e. 
  unconditionnal use of the IPv6 stack).

The attached patch fixes some minor bugs that were stopping the compilation of 
this file with the IPv4 code path, which it defaults to.

The new binary works under win2k, whereas the one with IPv6 code would build 
but run only under WinXP. This due to the mingw ws2_32 import lib declaring 
that the corresponding dll has freeaddrinfo while only the WinXP version of 
this dll has it.

I have zipped the result of make install and made it available at
http://christophe.gisquet.free.fr/pan-0.100.zip (604K) for people to test and 
verify if it works under both Win2K and WinXP. If it does, I would suggest to 
consider using the legacy (IPv4) path. Otherwise, at least a configure option 
should provide a mean to compile for Win2K.

For the info, it depends on the value of _WIN32_WINNT, which is 0x0500 AFAIK 
for Win2K.

Best regards,
Christophe GISQUET
