There are fixes in svn for this already, but that tarball seems to have
escaped with the badness in it...

The favoured gui version is TortoiseSVN from

http://tortoisesvn.net/downloads

But I actually prefer the free command line client from

http://www.sliksvn.com/en/download 

Bothe are "annointed" in that they are linked to from tigris's svn
downloads page.

No, you were right - the problem arises because fltk-1.3 no longer links
against the winsock DLL's by default... So we are correctly getting the
gethostname prototype but not linking it in at link time...

We don't need it anyway, so the easy thing is just to comment out all
refs to gethostname and carry on.

It's not a VS issue - it breaks on *all* win32 builds... Broke for my
mingw builds too, and Albrecht's cygwin build... You'll find that
Albrecht has already checked in workarounds, and Matthias' is working on
a more correct solution for the longer term.
