glib has some socket handling stuff built into it, and if you want to
use the conic API you're probably going to end up needing glib anyhow.

"Hostility towards Microsoft is not difficult to find on the Net, and it 
blends two strains: resentful people who feel Microsoft is too powerful, 
and disdainful people who think it's tacky. This is all strongly reminiscent 
of the heyday of Communism and Socialism, when the bourgeoisie were hated 
from both ends: by the proles, because they had all the money, and by the 
intelligentsia, because of their tendency to spend it on lawn ornaments."
