SOCK_SEQPACKET is *not* portable - its use will terminate any possibility of wine ever being useable on freebsd or anywhere other the absolute latest and greatest versions of gnu/linux OSes.
I'm aware of this; on platforms/distros where SOCK_SEQPACKET isn't supported, we'll have to use TCP urgent pointers or something something like that. However, that's a step that can come later, first I'd like to get the thing working xD The TCP urgent pointers look like roughly equivalent functionality to SOCK_SEQPACKET, so for those platforms/distros we can replace those parts.
