Problem with silc toolkit 0.9 on win32

[Zed S. <ze...@ze...>]

Hi all,

So, I've tracked down this strange bug in silc toolkit that I can't
figure out any further.  Basically, when the gethostbyname call is made
in silcwin32net.c at line 176, it errors out with h_errno=10093.  This
error number is for WSANOTINITIALISED, indicating that WSAStartup was
not called.

It looks like this call is being made in silc_net_win32_init.  I really
have no idea why I'm getting this error. If anyone can help, I'd really
appreciate it.

Here's the particulars of my machine:

i386 architecture
windows XP with all recent updates
VC++ .NET (although, this problem also existed in mingw).
Silc Toolkit 0.9

Thanks.
