[gnet-dev] Re: Outdated VC build in Windows GNet 1.1.0 package

["Andrew J. Lanoix" <alanoix umich edu>]

It looks like I missed adding some functions to gnet.def for the VC users. 
Mingw generates it's own gnet.def file. I have added 
gnet_inetaddr_new_nonblock & gnet_inetaddr_new_nonblock, but there may be 
others out there.
