True, but solving a compilation error is not useless...

The compilation error occurs when the mingw-w64 headers are "new 
enough", that is starting from this commit 
http://sourceforge.net/p/mingw-w64/mingw-w64/ci/b2aa85ca326ca55a2965da168c3c2d1c508c5572/ 
.

I also tried cross-compiling from Ubuntu 14.10: it succeeded, because 
that version has the old netioapi.h (before the commit above) which does 
not provide a definition for if_nametoindex when _WIN32_WINNT is < 
0x0600 (the new one always does).

Here is a stripped-down version of the patch, leaving only the 
if_nametoindex check.

Regards,
Fabrizio
