For some reason MSVC++ builds of Ethereal appear *always* to use our own inet_aton(); does Windows not have inet_aton()? 

No, MSVC doesn't have inet_aton, but interestingly inet_ntoa is supported.
As always, the Microsoft way is to support something that *looks* like a socket interface at first sight, but well, it's a bit different.
