It's not so hard to do this.  I don't think it took me more 
than about fifteen minutes to get most of the Libnet code 
(written to use UNIX sockets) to work in Winsock.  Now all of 
it works; I had to download the header files from the ibldenv 
archive from Microsoft to get `select' to work, in particular.  
Everything else was fine IIRC.
