This is not what we are currently doing, so in my proposal I did things
in a different way.
Sockets are closed with "closesocket()"; since this is not a POSIX call
(in my understanding), my patch adds a "#define closesocket close" in
network.h, before including the netinet/in.h & friends.
libossupport (or whatever its name will be) provides some missing
standard headers, and one of them (in this case, netinet/in.h) contains
an "#undef closesocket".

This should fix the problem (at least, it seems to work for me)
