Re: [PATCH/RFC 01/11] mingw: add network-wrappers for daemon

Hi,

First of all, great that you're working on adding daemon support for 
windows!

Something similar to this was merged into master recently as part of my 
mingw/ipv6 patches, so by rebasing your patch on top of that, this patch 
will probably get a bit smaller.

Also, the getaddrinfo-compatibility wrappers perhaps may need some minor 
updates to handle the use cases needed for setting up listening sockets.
