Actually, I don't like the neterrno macro at all.  I'd prefer a macro
for retrieving the error code and some form of translation from E* codes
to WS* codes.  The former of these would simply return errno on POSIX
systems and call WSAGetLastErrorUsingAnUglyFunctionName() on Windows.  The
latter I don't know exactly what is required for.

For setting nonblocking mode, I'd like a function (or macro) like

int ff_socket_nonblock(int enable);

defined os_support.c (or network.h).

First I'd like to determine whether its contents are actually needed at all.
barpainet.h is only #included in os_support.c, and then only if inet_aton()
doesn't exist, and none of what is in it is used there.

I've repeatedly asked the Beos guys about this, but they haven't answered.
If I don't get an answer by the end of the week, I'll remove it.
