We already use functions from ws2. I think effort was made in the past
to dynamically load it when required, because network support was not
always installed on early versions of Windows 95, and because loading
the library at startup caused a dialup dialog to pop up when the default
network connection was a dialup connection.  Neither of these is
probably a concern anymore, so it might be better to simplify the code
by with linking ws2 normally.
