Does it do the right thing for Windows variants like Cygwin, and OS/2?

I can at least say that the Cygwin implements a full POSIX facade in front of Windows sockets, so it would be important that the code in question is used to protect it as well. Also, MS_WINDOWS is not defined for a Cygwin compile, so it is fine to be using that. But I realize there is a whole 'nother discussion about that.
