I found a Windoze system where I could build emacs, and it didn't
like properly becuase WSAEventSelect could not be found by the linker.

Then I tried to load it dynamically like the other pfn_ stuff,
and with that change it linked and seemed to run perfectly
as I thought it would.

So I have installed the changes, and now server sockets seem
to behave just fine.

Now, maybe someone would like to make emacsclient and server.el
work on Windoze.
