Didn't we talk about having fe-connect.c call WSAStartup()
(conditionally compiled of course) to avoid this problem?
ISTM there was some reason it wouldn't work, like maybe you can
only call WSAStartup once per program, but I don't recall for sure.
If it *would* work it would probably be a better answer than making
users remember to call the thing.
