Our preferred implementation is to include "winsock.h" from within our
"unistd.h" file which gets us past the "nanosleep" issue and our GNULib
subset builds.  

An unfortunate side effect is our GNU diffutils subset build breaks.
We're working this and while we do that I'd like to pose a question:

What are the consequences of revising "nanosleep" to replace the call to
"select" with a call to "usleep" or similar?

Thanks in advance,
