Re: [libvirt] cygwin: #include netinet/inet.h -- needed only on cygwin

Well, gnulib does not yet offer any replacements for the <rpc/....h>
headers, in part because they are not standardized by POSIX. That's
certainly a larger task than just working around it for now in libvirt.
I could not reproduce the failure with the latest cygwin:
cygwin 1.7.6-1 OK
An additional note - cygwin only integrated native rpc support as of
1.7.4; if you are using something older, then you must have been using a
bolt-on package. But the general gnulib philosophy with regards to
cygwin tends to be that if a bug is cygwin-specific and has been fixed
upstream in cygwin, it is easier to tell people to upgrade to the latest
cygwin than to write a hack for a one-off version of an open platform
(bug fixes for more closed platforms, like mingw or MacOS, where we have
less control over how fast or even if a patch is likely to be
forth-coming, take priority).
