If you can think of a cross-platform way ... which I doubt.

Just execute /sbin/ifconfig and parse it's output.

I'd like to request a function to retrieve the IP address(es) of a
given network interface... something that would let me:

  $ip = ifaddr("eth0");

maybe even something more general like:

  $info = ifconfig("eth0")

echo $info["HWAddr"], $info["Mask"];
echo $info["RX-packets"], $info["RX-errors"],

etc.
