I've built all programs with MingW + gcc 3.3.1 (using the todays snapshot).
Does "README.win32" need to be updated to give any instructions on doing so? 


Some patches where needed though:

* <ws2tcpip.h> is needed for INET6 code in epan/resolv.c
Checked in. (Would that also be needed for other compilers/platforms, e.g. VC++ 6.0?) 


* MingW already have 'rint()' in <math.h> and
  'mode_t' in <sys/types.h>


Checked in.


* In dftest.c I'm not sure about the 2nd and 5th arg. I
 placed NULL to make it compile and run.
I checked in the correct fix (dftest isn't built by default, and I didn't configure it in the build, so I missed that when I added the new errno arguments to "read_prefs()" - I changed it to add new variables and report both open and read errors, as was done with Ethereal and Tethereal).
