I have no idea whether and how the result will differ from what we do
today.  The sheer amount of "remarks" in the MSDN documentation scares
me.  E.g., what happens if the remote end closes the socket,
gracefully or otherwise?

IOW, I'd love someone who _really_ knows about Windows socket
programming to review this and compare with what we do now.  I'm not
that person, sorry.
