No, this is the winsock implementation, provided by Microsoft. You could 
solve it on MinGW, but this code would still fail in all other Win32 
compilers.
The correct way for checking if a socket is valid would be:
if (sockfd == -1)    /* this works with an unsigned sockfd, but issues a 
warning */

Do the BSD sockets implementations never return sockets bigger than 
INT_MAX ? Isn't a socket with a value of -2 valid?
