If you find any bugs or problems with libsocket, please
mail me with the details (i.e.
the program code and a description).
Lack of Winsock 2 support
gethostname() will return a space-free version of the host name,
which may not be the DNS name.
Connecting to non-existent IP addresses seems to hang the library and
not time-out - why? How long is the time-out?
Non-blocking sockets are blocking?
libsocket isn't aware of the connection being closed by the
other end?

Here are some things I plan to add when I have time:
Better documentation (as always) - any comments on how I can improve it
would be appreciated.
Add a Windows set-up program. This should be able to detect settings
automatically, making the library easier to use, not just by programmers, but
by end-users too.
Check that libsocket works with the DJGPP version 2.02 (currently in
alpha).
Write some documentation about the library's internal functions, for
those who want to know.
Packet driver support? (e.g. like WAT/TCP, maybe using
ndispkt3?)
