Actually the base library provides portable (unix/mingw32) socket  
networking in some extensons to NSFileHandle ... the problem is that  
some apps don't use it and work with unix sockets directly  
themselves, because MacOS-X didn't have any portable socket API.
Now, MacOS-X gas introduced NSStream and I think it's socket API  can  
be made portable to minw32 ... so if we implement that in base for  
unix and ming we shoud have a socket API which is portable across all  
systems.
