--- Comment #9 from Zebediah Figura <z.figura12 at gmail.com> ---
Actually it occurs to me that the WS_ prefix is completely broken now, since
ws2_32.dll itself doesn't use it. I.e. you can use WS_* definitions, but you
can't link to WS_* functions.

It is a bit out of scope of this bug report (which isn't trying to use windows
sockets at all), but I guess I can't figure out how to answer the original
question without knowing what exactly we want to preserve in terms of backwards
compatibility. E.g. should we preserve the ability to use the WS prefix? should
we preserve the ability to link to either Win32 or Unix sockets simply
depending on whether -lws2_32 is specified?
