Sockets is nothing but a header. A windows only port should be fairly easy.
Is just a matter of gathering all generic and windows specific parts of
the units (.pas/.pp + .inc files), putting them in one unit, make some
modifications for delphi quirks and add some types and constant (FPC has
some portable OS specific types in base units, for e.g. the 64-bit usage
and/or per platform definition of base C types)
The older delphi mods is that FPC usually assumes that the D2009+
{$pointermath on} is on (need to fix for older Delphi, typically with
pbyte->pchar substitution), and unicode issues for newer Delphis.
