[RFC] Fixes to allow developing Windows apps on Wine

[Kai Blin]

Hi folks,

Austin just checked if bug #11965 [1] was still alive. I know it's still an 
issue, and I wonder if we would want to fix this sort of thing. Ok, actually 
the question is if Alexandre wants to have it fixed, I'd be happy to provide 
a patch.

In short, the issue is that for people developing and testing Windows software 
in Wine, Wine will gladly do networking without anybody calling WSAStartup(), 
so this won't show up in tests. If you forget the WSAStartup call, the app 
will break on Windows. In order to fix this, we'd have to start tracking 
WSADATA structures per thread.

Comments?
