"replacement for accept()" sounds like a good idea but in the second
thought, I do not find any use case in which an application would need to
implement this callback. On the other hand, applications may need to set
socket options before data transfer kicks off. I am going to prepare a
patch for CURL_SOCKOPTFUNCTION after accept() gets called and returned
success.

@Joe: Does this change make it for you?
