Good idea.  It seems like a generic initialization routine and generic
callback function should be adequate.  But the existing POSIX signal
stuff isn't pretty, so there wasn't much to go from.

Also I don't really like the way WSAStartup() is being called from
prims.cc.  That should be deferred until if/when somebody uses
java.net.  Probably a static intializer somewhere in java.net would do
the trick.

I'll try to submit a patch, if somebody doesn't beat me to it...
