Socket - load the C socket.h defines
use Socket;
<![CDATA[
$proto = (getprotobyname('udp'))[2];
socket(Socket_Handle, PF_INET, SOCK_DGRAM, $proto);

This module is just a translation of the C socket.h file.
Unlike the old mechanism of requiring a translated socket.ph
file, this uses the h2xs program (see the Perl source distribution)
and your native C compiler. This means that it has a
far more likely chance of getting the numbers right.
Only #define symbols get translated; you must still correctly
pack up your own arguments to pass to bind(), etc.
