There is almost no need for gethostbyname_r on Cygwin since its sole

1) Resolving a numeric host is more common than whatever (all - "most
all") is, IMO.
2) The difference between most all and all is usually horrible to track
down.
AFAIK, cygwin's gethostbyname is thread safe in all cases.
So it would be possible to add an alias gethostbyname_r == gethostbyname
to the list of exported functions?
