And after some fettling it now builds under mingw too, though I'm
cross-compiling so haven't tried running the testsuite yet.  Hopefully
it still works with MSVC...

The only real problem so far is that libtool can't see a DLL for
-lws2_32 so decides to statically link everything!  Is winsock actually
a DLL or a static library?
