GetAdaptersInfo --
Wine uses: Software\\Wine\\Wine\\Config\\Network
     -- Wins support is todo so this part isn't so important.
     -- Overall, workable
Wine uses ansi functions

-- Done --
GetNetworkParams --
     -- Make workable interface for _res
        -- Wine based on real _res
	-- ReactOS based on my enumerator funcs

-- Done -- Prints route info on windows

Overall architecture of the ifenum and ipstats functions.

Right now, I rely heavily on a couple of enumeration functions.
What I need to do is consolidate them and reduce traffic on the ioctl.

There are two things I need to do:

1. Lookup an interface by index (or name)
2. Get the IP info

I have too many functions that loop over various things.

What I need are the get** functions from ipstats (which I think are ok)
And then to change the detritus in ifenum to be all based on
getInterfaceIndexTable and getInterfaceMibByIndex, getInterfaceMibByName

Implementing name functions:

Ok here's what i can synthesize from unclegarlic and vizzini:

the IP_ADAPTER_INFO struct should contain the guid part of the registry key
name that holds the adapter

the snmp-style info functions should return a nice name, which is also from
the registry.

In no case is the adapter OID for name used.  According to vizzini, this
OID is never used and probably almost never implemented.

This is different from the wine case because there are two different names
returned from the underlying layer.
