[Bug 6767] failure enumerating interfaces on NetBSD

I suppose this change helps.

The original code is still the same and will still be broken on NetBSD 4.
In the last three years the machine I was using has died and I have updated all
my installs to NetBSD 5.
NetBSD 5's SIOCGIFCONF now behaves like Linux regarding the ifc_len. So the
original code works in NetBSD 5.
The new code using getifaddrs seems to work as well on NetBSD 5.
I must assume that it would also work on NetBSD 4 since the man page claims
getifaddrs is ancient history. I cannot confirm it without installing NetBSD 4
and running this new code.

I am not willing to install NetBSD 4 to test this for you. I have long since
given up on Wine because over time, it kept working *worse* and worse for the
few things I was trying to use it for. To even test this change I had to hack
up another test program, and it was a lot more complicated this time. To this
day I am still baffled why changing == to >= was apparently unworkable, and it
doesn't make me feel at all inclined to rebuild/reinstall wine, and the
software that had been working and gradually quit working (plus the server to
run it against) to test future changes.
