Thanks very much for the reply - I will wait for Corinna's take on this as
well - the patch shouldn't be too hard.

In fact the source code for curl in the lib/connect.c file has code to
enable the winsock options, so hopefully that code could be helpful. I
imagine there must be a translation between the POSIX sockets and winsock
in the fhandler_socket.

I will attempt to download the cygwin source code - I've never built it, so
I don't know how hard it will be.

I am surprised that no one else has ever needed the low level TCP keep
alives to work.
