dlls/winsock/socket breakage

[Roderick Colenbrander]

Hi,

Currently I don't have access to the machine I use for wine stuff, so I 
haven't been able to create a real patch. Anyway I'll try to assist you 
fixing the problem as it isn't that difficult to fix.

There are three places that break Wine on FreeBSD:
- WS2_Send
- WS_getsockopt
- WS_setsockopt 

First the code in ws2_send isn't relevant to FreeBSD as the ipx sockaddr 
structures are different in case of Linux and FreeBSD. Just add #ifdefs or 
whatever Alexandre likes the most.

Next there are the WS_getsockopt/setsockopt functions. In the getsockopt 
fuction we need to retrieve the ipx packet type and we do the opposite in 
setsockopt. The code that you need to place in both functions looks something 
like this:

//getsockopt code
struct ipx val;
getsockopt(fd, 0, SO_DEFAULT_HEADERS, &val, sizeof(struct ipx));
*opt_val = (int)val.ipx_pt;

//setsockopt code
struct ipx val; (perhaps we should retrieve this one using a getsockopt call 
and then we set modified one)
val.ipx_pt = *opt_val;
setsockopt(fd, 0, SO_DEFAULT_HEADERS, &val, sizeof(struct ipx));
*opt_val = (int)val.ipx_pt;

I hope this helps.
