Sorry for the whole-file-uploads, but the whole thing was operated in somewhat
improvised circumstances from my side.

Rev 34093 works as intended in this regard.

BTW, the technique to substitute lacking system support with functions with the
same name will always be fragile. Better is to use the scheme:

In libwsutil, implement a function called ws_inet_pton(), and then, in
config.h:

#ifdef WS_LACKS_INET_PTON
#define inet_pton ws_inet_pton
#endif

Just my 2 cents, though...
