Slightly off topic, maybe we should discuss this in private mail, but...
...compiling for winsock is usually not too difficult, since it is a major
subset of the POSIX API. You have to juggle with the headers (with winsock,
you just include one header file), with some types, and (greatest problem)
with the error codes. Unix uses errno and returns an int while Windows uses
WSAGetLastError() and returns a DWORD. However, all these can be hidden using
a few macro lines.
MingW will probably also use winsock, so it's not really helpful.
