Is newlib the right place? minires uses the Windows API to find the dns 
servers and the domain name. Is there a POSIX way to get those?
If so, it could be implemented in Cygwin. 
In the long run the lookups should use the Windows resolver (on 
systems >= Win2000). BTW, that's why it's 0.95 and not 1.00
