so I need to use the SOCKET cookie, but from my point of view that's not 
possible directly... (because of the metnioned issues) I guess I have to 
undef the defines, put some functions with the previously undefined 
defines into an library ( as real function ), like this:

SOCKET_LIB_EXPORT socket( a,b,c ){
if(!init){
init_socket();
}
return( psc->socket( a, b, c ) );
}

and that maybe works. I'll just have to undef the socket defines first, 
than redeclare them as functions - when compiling curl. Will try it 
tomorrow...

The Sting interface is a third interface - gluestick.

Sting/Stick doesn't offer any socket functionality - if someone would 
provide an socket layer for GLueStick, that would be cool >;) - because 
than you can compile curl with support for Sting ;) ( but that probably 
won't be very clean, I expect that sting uses shorts instead of types 
like long, long long, etc...). With sting there is no support for 
sockets, just connections. So you have to emulate the socket() call and 
keep track of the fake socket somehow, associate it with sting 
connection handles, etc. :)
