Dear diary, on Wed, Jan 18, 2006 at 02:47:00PM CET, I got a letter
where Alex Riesen <raa.lkml@gmail.com> said that...
> For reasons unknown, cygwin decided to use our sockaddr_storage.
> As it is redefined to sockaddr_in it'd cause compilation errors in
> cygwin headers. Fixed by first patch, which uses a more git-related

Huh? "Our"? See RFC 2553 and e.g.:
http://www.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/009695399/basedefs/sys/socket.h.html
You have no business meddling with this identifier except working around
platforms which do not support it, but then do not complain that things
break when the platforms actually start supporting it. ;-)
