It seems like you are hitting on the same points where I gave up.
"The procedure entry point freeaddrinfo could not be located in the
dynamic link library WS2_32.DLL. "

We have hit on all the same searches.

 I'm not at the computer I do all my MinGW stuff, but the "freeaddrinfo"
was what I gave up on some time ago and feel that this is the reason why
the windows builds have stopped, others cant sort it either :(

Its a shame as Pan was starting to look good, but I cant run to another
OS just because of that.
