Actually, this works just fine on newer versions of Windows.  The issue 
here is that iphlpapi.dll on Windows XP x64 is missing this symbol, even 
though it is present on 32-bit XP SP3, not to mention both 32- and 
64-bit Windows Vista and newer.

I should be able to work around this, but it will be a little while 
before I have a chance to get to it.
