Porting getifaddrs to Win XP

Question

I'm trying to port a MacOSX app to windows and I've come up against a problem around getifaddrs. Basically windows does not support it. I'm trying to figure a way to re-implement it (for AF_INET and AF_INET6) but the "equivalent" functionality on windows appears to be nothing like the MacOSX support.

Has someone done this sort of conversion before? If so is there a nice way I can get windows to report me interface info like MacOSX does?

The closest functions on Windows are GetAdaptersInfo and GetAdaptersAddresses. The MSDN documentation is pretty comprehensive, so you should find everything you need.
