(Windows Socket support is not x-platform friendly).

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.
