Is this WinCE or WinRT?

WinCE has a lot of hacks in it w.r.t. sockets, in order to minimize 
kernel size.  Basically, a lot of stuff is either unsupported or 
emulated in user space, as compared to Winsock on "real" Windows.

I have no idea of the state of Winsock's capability on WinRT.  I assume 
since it's newer and intended to support tablets and such that it's 
nearer to the full capabilities of "real" Windows, but again, I don't 
actually know that.

You wouldn't have to change any existing code.  You'd write replacements 
for BasicUsageEnvironment and BasicTaskScheduler.

sloccount on that sub-tree says there's only about a thousand lines of 
code there.  I don't see that a rewrite using Windows' event mechanisms 
would be much bigger.
