Theres no intention to implement it all, just what we need in ffmpeg.

If win32 supports closing sockets, there should be a function doing that,
that can then be used. If it supports the equivalent of select() on files
AND we need that, then the existing function can be used.
If win32 doesnt support XYZ and we do have a implementation for it currently,
that can be moved from libavformat to libossupport. If we win32 doesnt
support XYZ and we do not have a implementation for it there wont be one
on libossupport either. At least not until some win32 devel implements it.
