	This is used in BytesReadable() defined in Alibint.h for
windows... It's supposed to return the number of bytes available to be
read from a socket...

	As to why it's no longer available in cygwin, I have no
idea... They would surely have an equivalent wouldn't they?

	Guess everyone's doing this properly now, so fixing this will be
easy ;-)

I'm guessing from the Alibint.h windows include, that it used to be
defined in winsock.h, and no, as a non-windows programmer, I haven't a
clue.  Sorry.  It would be nice getting NAS working properly on modern
windows systems, so if you manage it, please send the patches ;-)
