God bless users who send simple testcases. it takes me no more than 5
minutes to see what's wrong.

yes, it should work, testcase is correct. but i doubt it _ever_ worked
in cygwin. the problem is not with socket. socket is ok. but sendto()
gets dest_addr parameter of type 'struct sockaddr'. we pass this
parameter to WSASendTo() as is, and it works ok while this sockaddr is
of AF_INET family, which WSASendTo() supports. but in this example
it's AF_UNIX. unfortunately, right now I can't propose any solution
except "you can't do that" :(
