On game consoles, initializing sockets takes a significant amount of
time. When not delaying socket initializing, that time is spent during
startup even when the application might never use sockets.

Worse yet, on Amiga, sockets might not be available at all and the
application will fail to start up, even when the application might never
use sockets. file: [009edc504e] check-in: [7460d2ccd8] user: js, branch: trunk, size: 10919 [annotate] [blame] [check-ins using] [diff]

struct sockaddr can contain a variable length array, which breaks the
union. file: [bbb2f277d7] check-in: [25adea9a23] user: js, branch: trunk, size: 9029 [annotate] [blame] [check-ins using] [diff]

This is more standard, albeit -[connectToNetwork:node:port:] sounding a
little bit more like you connect to a network rather than a node. file: [b247f989a0] check-in: [ccc6a77c55] user: js, branch: trunk, size: 8999 [annotate] [blame] [check-ins using] [diff]

There is a nasty bug in HP-UX: When using the proper socket APIs that
take a socklen_t (which is 64 bit in LP64 mode), it still calls into
methods that expect an int - so there is a type mismatch between the
headers and the compiled system libraries. This leads to all socklen_t
being interpreted as 0 (due to big endian). Defining
_HPUX_ALT_XOPEN_SOCKET_API makes it use the correct symbols in the
system libraries instead. file: [e03ee47321] check-in: [1833194867] user: js, branch: trunk, size: 8963 [annotate] [blame] [check-ins using] [diff]

This is intended for SCTP and SPX. file: [047e480ca4] check-in: [e5b2ee56ff] user: js, branch: trunk, size: 8103 [annotate] [blame] [check-ins using] [diff]

This makes it easier to reuse code for other datagram sockets, namely
IPX. file: [48a59d618d] check-in: [b02c4b05bb] user: js, branch: trunk, size: 8082 [annotate] [blame] [check-ins using]
