Unfortunately, I just discovered (by reading the code) that datagram
support is severely broken on Windows -- it can send datagrams, but
not receive them reliably.
So datagram support should probably be disabled too.

I'd hope so too - but nobody else seems to be capable of understanding
the code...

IMO, it is not "improving for Windows alone" ... it is a matter of making
the Windows port work like the other ports.

Sure ... I just hope we get Emacs 22 out of the door soon, so we can
get on with some of the projects which have been on-hold for years now.
