[Lazarus] freeaddrinfo not found in dll WS2_32.dll on w2k??

[waldo kitty]

please ignore this... the problem IS with the libmysql.dll file and that w2k 
doesn't have this freeaddrinfo procedure in it... the code used also goes deeper 
than lazarus (back to base FPC database stuffs) and probably should be posted in 
one of the FPC areas... at least the possible fix for it if that might be 
incorporated... i dunno... it is deeper than i have gone in a GUI environment 
before so for now, i'm dropping it in this area...
