I did some initial testing using VC 6 and had no trouble with winsock 
removed. Thinking about it, all I/O is handled from libxml2 so libxslt 
shouldn't have need for socket support anyways.

As far as the gettimeofday support goes, the patch does didn't break 
things but did change a couple of things:
xslutils now uses the windows perfmance counter for calculating timing 
(not a bad thing and supposedly a recommended way of timing code).
xsltproc ends up using the clock function to calculate timing.

I'm still testing and want to try a build with VS 2005, but wanted to at 
least write this now as that all has to wait till Monday. Hopefully 
someone with another one of the affected compilers can try it as well.
