This was a quite different issue -- CRTDLL is not thread-safe, and as
such is simply unusable for libgcj.
I still can't see a compelling reason to use the Winsock 2 API for
non-multicast operations. It seems like we would lose compatability
with an (admittedly small) group of systems, but gain nothing in
return.
