If the user ends up linking them both in, the program crashes.  I'm
working on a fix, but it will be a while (it's a complex problem).
You can't even use "cp" to allow them both to be copied in - one
linked implib per *dll* is the maximum at the moment.

Is ws2_32.dll available on *all* win32 machines?  I thought it was
wsock32.dll that was the preferred DLL to use.
