[Rprotobuf-yada] building on windows

In sisocks.h Simon seems to be using #ifdef statements to handle windows 
properly, but for whatever reason it does not work on my machine.

SocketCopyingInputStream.h also needs to be tweaked a bit so that it includes 
<winsock.h> on windows instead of <sys/socket.h> and <netinet/tcp.h>

I made some quick hacks to force sisocks.h and SocketCopyingInputStream.h to use 
winsock but now i get more compilation errors related to some files sisocks.h 
includes (part of Rtools). Something must be messed up on my system...

Hi Koert,

I think I once tried and failed. Or maybe the presence of configure scared
me.  But well done -- that's correct.

| c:/Devel/msys/1.0/local/lib/libprotobuf.a

That's correct. I may want to look into making this possible for CRAN similar
to what we do with other packages where available (but rarely used on
Windows) libraries are provided to CRAN by volunteers to us.

Yes. That sound vaguely familar. 

'sisocks.h' is by R Core member Simon Urbanek and used in several of his
projects, including Rserve.  I am sure we can get this tamed.  

Do you want to give it a try with some #ifdef statements to get to the
standard old winsock / winsock2 here?

Dirk
