Actually, in looking at this, I have come up with a better way.

create an opensocket() like closesocket().

opensocket() calls WSAImAWindowsCrackProgrammer(), then calls socket()
on other machines, just calls socket()

clossocket() for mingw calls close() then WSAShutdown().

It's clean, and I like it.

Thoughts?

(Will post patch in a second...)
