Rather than #define, I suggest we put CloseSocket as a new function and
implement it differently.. That way we can keep track in case things start to
differ on number and types of arguments between closesocket and close.
#define tends to add cruft and I don't trust windows API to stability the way
unix does.
Just an opinion..
