Most of the stuff in nt/inc is empty, and only needed because certain parts of the code unconditionally include things like netdb.h instead of wrapping them in #ifdef HAVE_NETDB_H, and doing the appropriate autoconf checks. sys/param.h can be removed and the definition of NBPG put in nt/config.h sys/ioctl.h, netinet/in.h, arpa/inet.h, netdb.h, unistd.h can be completely nuked sys/time.h is probably doing the wrong thing. We should just include the correct file under windows instead of creating our own prototypes for struct timeval, etc. sys/socket.h should just be nuked and all the checks for net-specific errnos should be wrapped in a new macro. In some of our code we use ISSOCKETERROR(var,ENOTCONN), on windows this expands the WSA stuff for you. -Bill P.
