Yes, that's what I meant. No code would #include win32config.h anymore, just
config.h. That autogenerated config.h file would then have a totally
different content on your machine than it would on mine. The content of
config.h would be determined by the configuration stage, rather than
preprocessor code.

I tend to mark it a good idea, but for a different reason. I mean,
everything in config.h is portability stuff. Libxml configuration is in
xmlversion.h. Since that winsock->sock error mapping is a portability
measure, I think it well placed in config.h

However, if those winsock->sock error code translation would be in its own
file, call it wserrno.h or whatever, then your config.h and mine could both
include that file and prevent duplicate information.
