Do you really need to call WSAStartup when you are using cegcc (of the 
non-mingw variety)?

Wouldn't the POSIX compatibility provided by newlib do this for you?

I ask with interest as I also want to do some networking stuff soon. I 
was assuming that if I used cegcc-mingw then I would need WSAStartup, 
but not if I used the non-mingw version.
