Easy to answer : currently, no work have been done for win32.

It must not be that difficult anyway, becasue Kirby already did the
big part of the job!

As with gettimeofday(), there are probably some other easy-to-fix
stuff.

The bigger part is porting the link layer specific functions, which
should be placed in src/libnet_mode_link_win32.c As you can nnotice,
there is currently no such file :( I'll try to port it before leaving,
but I'm not sure I'll be able.
