Does strerror on Win32 support WinSock error codes? The last time I

One for WSAStartup, one for WSAShutdown, one for WSAEWOULDBLOCK. For all

What I want in the long term is short, maintainable code. Using ACE, I
have #ifdefs in the lib, and don't have to deal with every possible name
resolution and connect issue.
