Adds gethostid function to Cygwin. Three patches: one for

Cygwin, one for

newlib and one for w32api.
If I've done anything wrong let me know and I'll try to fix it.

I tried this on Windows XP and, when run repeatedly, I get two different numbers:

m:\test>gethostid
0xf9926a74

m:\test>gethostid
0xdfd35415

The highly sophisticated program that I'm using is below.

I take it this doesn't happen to you, Chris?

Can you send me two strace outputs with different results please?
There are debug_printf's all the way through the hostid function that output
the result at each stage and these can be used to identify which value is
changing between calls.


ping...


On WinME, using the hostid sources from coreutils, I'm getting consistant results.


Cheers,
Nicholas
