[ For the record: Mathias told me privately that open-network-stream
works as expected. ]

It struck me: maybe asynchronous connections don't work properly on
Windows.

Does (featurep 'make-network-process '(:nowait t)) return t?  If not,
ignore the following.

Does (make-network-process :name "http" :buffer "http-localhost"
                           :host "127.0.0.1" :service 80
                           :nowait t)
work?
