Hello.

As the title suggests, I am ending development of libsocket. I no longer
have the time, energy or interest to keep on developing libsocket to a
good standard. It's a bit sad, because I've learnt a lot since I took over
maintainership from Indrek Mandre.

I did make a little progress towards proper Winsock 2 support (using
WSOCK2.VXD) at the end of December. If anyone would like to take over
maintainership, please mail me and I'd be happy to discuss it and send you
my current source tree from my personal CVS.

Anyway, thanks for the help & usage of libsocket over the years. I'm sorry
to end development, but libsocket's just too broken.

Bye,
