OK, got it.

The trouble with that is that it would mess up on systems where we think 
"socklen_t" isn't defined (so we #define it), but where in fact it really 
is defined.  (Unfortunately because of the need to be able to generate 
Makefiles for Windows as well as Unix systems, we can't use the usual 
autoconf/configure mechanism, which would be able to figure this out 
automatically.)
