POSIX compliance is a pretty weak guarantee, and some of the things we 
(have to) do are a bit esoteric (raw sockets).

Another thought would be to run it under CYGWIN.

By the way, I'm sure SFU has sockets now :-).  But, it may not have some of 
the authentication methods we use for local domain sockets.

But, I have no idea which would be "better" or "easier".

Just food for thought...
