But it is as intended. Is not Unix defined on your system? Or is that
being parsed incorrectly (according to my understanding, and Harbison &
Steele's)?
Does
#if (!defined(Unix)) || defined(HAVE_BSD_NETWORKING)
work?
We do need the extra freedom on Windows, where HAVE_BSD_NETWORKING is
false but the #ifdef Win32 lines save the day.
