Its looking pretty good!  A socklen_t definition got lost, so we need:

+#ifdef _MSC_VER
+typedef int socklen_t;
+#endif

Added to safewinsock2.h.

And while we are on the topic :)  I believe its unrelated to the recent
patches, but debug builds with assertions enabled are failing for me with:

queryparser.cc
queryparser.cc(163) : error C2451: conditional expression of type
'Xapian::Internal::RefCntPtr<T>' is illegal
        with
        [
            T=Xapian::QueryParser::Internal
        ]
        No user-defined-conversion operator available that can perform this
conversion, or the operator cannot be called

I'm not experienced enough with std smart pointers to know what the correct
check is.

Its a DLL for me.  I've a 41k .lib file in the compiler/sdk 'lib' dir and a
83k dll in system32.  I'm surprised a static version of that library is
available.
