The Windows part explains things in terms of the C socket API. Less
than ideal for the QEMU QMP Reference Manual, isn't it? I don't know
nearly enough about this stuff to suggest concrete improvements...
What does this command do under Windows before this patch? Fail always?
Wrap your lines a bit earlier, please.

What happens when QEMU runs on a Windows host and the client doesn't
pass @wsa-info?
