Er, oops.  It seems that I was working on exactly this problem in
my copy of gnulib the last time I was in that directory, but
never finished it or asked bug-gnulib whether it was the correct
fix.  Apologies.

Seeing as you have a chance to test it, here's the change.  If
you apply this to gnulib, and then add $(LIB_CLOSE) to the
appropriate linker line, does that solve the problem?  If so then
I'll add a changelog and pass this along to bug-gnulib.  If not,
can you figure out what additional change is needed (maybe that
-lwsock32 that you mentioned)?

Thanks,

Ben.
