No, Windows has sockets already integrated into the system of Handles and
file descriptors. It may have some flaws when you try to pass a socket
as stdin or stdout to a new process, but that's nothing clisp has ever run into.
For clisp's purpose, the Windows sockets are just fine (apart from the fact that
you have to initialize some Windows subsystem and that the errno is not well
integrated).
