Wireshark-dev: [Wireshark-dev] INET6_ADDRSTRLEN redefinition

Anyone else run into this issue while compiling Wireshark 1.0.1 on Windows XP with VS2005?

The INET6_ADDRSTRLEN defined in packet-ipv6.h seems to conflict with the INET6_ADDRSTRLEN of ws2tcpip.h in the Platform SDK. A simple #ifndef _WIN32 block around that definition seems to fix the issue.
