<para>To use the vanilla Win32 winsock, you just need to #define Win32_Winsock
and #include "windows.h" at the top of your source file(s). You'll also
want to add -lwsock32 to the compiler's command line so you link against
libwsock32.a.
<para>To use the vanilla Win32 winsock, you just need to #define __USE_W32_WINSOCK
and #include "windows.h" (or "winsock2.h" at the top of your source file(s). You may
find it easier to add "-D__USE_W32_WINSOCK" to the CFLAGS settings in your makefile,
if you are using one, as this will then apply to all your source files. It is also
worth using "#define WIN32_LEAN_AND_MEAN" before you include the windows header file,
as this will prevent it from pulling in lots of header files for all sorts of unrelated
windows APIs when all you want is the Winsock definitions; again, this could be set
for the entire project in your CFLAGS.

You'll also need to add -lwsock32 to the compiler's command line (or the makefile's
list of link libs) so that you link against libwsock32.a.
