3513	Network package does not work on Windows 2000	guest		"I'm using GHC 6.10.4 on Windows 2000 SP4. I have this simple code:
{{{
import Network
main = listenOn (PortNumber 12345) >> return ()
}}}
executing it with runhaskell fails:
{{{
>runhaskell test.hs
test.hs: C:\ghc\ghc-6.10.4\network-2.2.1.2\HSnetwork-2.2.1.2.o: unknown symbol `_getnameinfo'
test.hs: test.hs: unable to load package `network-2.2.1.2'
}}}
It can be compiled and linked successfully (ghc --make test.hs),
however when run, it fails with this message box:

test.exe - Entry Point Not Found[[BR]]
The procedure entry point freeaddrinfo could not be located in the dynamic link library WS2_32.DLL. 

It seems that the network package uses API functions:
getaddrinfo, freeadrrinfo and getnameinfo.
Those functions don't exist on Windows 2000 SP4.
