The problem with one of the warnings is:

  int flags;
  return ioctlsocket(sockfd, FIONBIO, &flags);

According to ms docs 'flags' should be an unsigned long
(http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/winsock/winsock/ioctlsocket_2.asp)

And that's a ms only function, isn't it?

The attached patch takes care of this problem, the other warning
had already been solved by the time I got to it.
