Uh, from my knowledge, which may be wrong....
there is no way to "re-compile" the library of wininet.lib, since
the code was *never* distributed. This would make renaming
the DLL very difficult since if you compiled agains wininet.lib,
which expected wininet.dll, you would have problems.
Anyway, from my knowledge MS never distributed the code,so there is no
way that you could (very easily) make the library into a dll that
does not expect the original name.
It would probably be best if you had your own code base to
do internet client types of things.
