Of course I don't know of any winelib applications (at all, really), but a
simple program like 

#include <winsock2.h>

int main(int argc, char **argv)
{
    socket(AF_INET, SOCK_STREAM, IPPROTO_TCP);
}

compiled with winegcc, and explicitly linked to ws2_32 (assuming I've done it
right) seems to work, and link to ws2_32 rather than glibc.

(I'm also a little confused, because last time I tried proposing that we remove
the ability to use host headers together with winsock.h and without
USE_WS_PREFIX, you seem to have been of the opinion that we should preserve
that for winegcc [1].)
