It's not that obvious. Since WsaStartup is called with a requested
version of 2.2 in wsa_init(), the wsock32 code asks if winsock 2 is
available on the system. If so, it will be used. The reason for
loading ws2_32 explicitly in Cygwin is that the function pointers of
the special winsock 2 functions couldn't be resolved otherwise.

It is. WsaStartup should only be called once regardless whether the
first winsock function is a version 1.1 or version 2 function. The
wsa_init function is only called if it's not already called from the
other entry point.
