A non-blocking connect is requested by making the socket non-blocking
before calling connect ...
How would it know that connect failed because it requested a
non-blocking connect vs. other error codes?

If :nowait t doesn't work on Windoze,
(featurep 'make-network-process '(:nowait t)) should return nil.
But why doesn't it work on Windoze? Could someone please investigate it?
If this is a general problem, BROKEN_NON_BLOCKING_CONNECT should
be defined in window...
