  1. Cygwin should not use winsock2. 

    The configure.ac script was erroneously including -lws2_32,
i.e. the winsock2 library. Cygwin is a full POSIX environment
and does not need the winsock2 functionality as it supplies its
own POSIX compatible sockets.

Including -lws2_32 caused getnameinfo to fail with error 10093
(WSANOTINITIALISED). This usually means that the Winsock
WSAStartup function has not been called. Calling WSAStartup is
not necessary for Cygwin programs and in fact should be avoided.
