dumpbin thinks libwireshark.dll imports freeaddrinfo().

However, *none* of the object files used to build it refer to freeaddrinfo().

The same is true of, among other symbols, DisableThreadLibrary().  The DLL is,
when built, linked with a bunch of .lib files; perhaps if it's linked with
libraries X and Y, and library X imports symbol A from library Y, the DLL has A
as one of its imports from library Y, even if none of the objects linked into
the DLL imports A from that library (i.e., the linker computes something like a
transitive closure of "imports").

"dumpbin /imports" doesn't list libgio, so I'm not sure which library would be
library X in this scenario.
