I'd modestly offer the Claw.Sockets interface (see www.rrsoftware.com).
It works on multiple compilers targetted to Windows, and the actual
Windows dependencies are inside the implementation, mostly concerning
asynchronous stuff that uses the Windows message loop. An example very
simple web server (ca 400 lines) using it is on www.adapower.com
