That means that you want me to do the work, I guess? OK, here's the program,
consisting of
  - a patch to lib/gethostname.c to add Woe32 support,
  - a new src/hostname.c,
  - some autoconf macros that you can add to configure.ac or where it fits.

If that's OK, I can also go out and write the documentation update.

        * gethostname.c: Add support for Windows. Include <string.h>.
        (gethostname): On Windows, use GetComputerName().

        * hostname.c: Include getopt.h, not long-options.h.
        Include headers for using IPv6. Include xgethostname.h.
        (xgethostname): Remove declaration.
        (AUTHORS): Add me.
        (format): New variable.
        (ipv4_ntop, ipv6_ntop): New macros.
        (print_hostname): New function.
        (sethostname): Provide a fallback definition that just signals an
        error.
        (long_options): New variable.
        (usage): Document new options -s, -f, -i, -h, -V.
        (main): Use getopt_long instead of parse_long_options. Initialize
        'format'. Invoke print_hostname.
