Depending on who wrote the code, and what that code is trying to do, the
differences between POSIX and Windows for sockets are either (a) minimal or
(b) vast. It _should_ be minimal in this case. One difference that I recall
is in writing a select() loop, since the socket objects in Windows are not
really file handles.

The interface to C++ is more complex and adds extra weight.  I have
been looking at liblo which is much simpler (I can resolve the licence
issue -- I have been in touch with author) but that has not been run
on Windows.  Not sure how different socket code is for Windows, but
the whole library is definitely small.

The code for liblo does not use select, although an example use does.
It still looks the simplest package, but a little more assurance on
Windows is needed.
