I mean "portable" as in.. I want to make a Linux port of my
application.
Therefore, WinInet has to go... but I still haven't worked out how I
am going to replace 'InternetCombineURL' function from WinInet.
Surely this has been done so many times before so I'd rather use
someone elses implementation otherwise I'll have to write something up
myself.
