We have not known of each other before we started this thread and have
probably paralleled much work. So we might have two alternative
implementations which we (or some volunteer) can compare and pick out
the best ideas.

This could especially be important for the mingw32 API which might have
its special issues. I personally have no
experience with that so I have used the standard POSIX socket(),
select(), connect(), listen() calls - assuming a certain behaviour.

Zeroconf/Bonjour.

No, that is missing.

All the newer ones. Headers are IMHO complete and the simple classes.
