[libvirt] libvirt on mingw: undefined reference to htonl/ntohl

Hi, Some time passed by and I thought I'd have another go at compiling libvirt for win32 using MinGW/MSYS again. I tried to compile libvirt-0.4.3 and I got around most obstacles. Now it just seems I am stuck when it is trying to link. My search on google showed me that I am not the first one to see this issue. Usually i means -lws2_32 is in the wrong place. However I tried moving it around without luck. Also it doesn't make sense to me that only htonl and ntohl are missing. It appears anything else used from the winsock library is found during linking. I feel we're very close to getting libvirt compiled on win32. Or do you know if anyone already succeeded?
