OK, can you please test whether socket.h is needed at all?
In case it's needed, I'll add sys/types.h back.

I just commented out sys/socket.h and it still works. If it is needed
on your system, can you please tell me what it misses (or just send me the
log of a compile of this file)?

I've removed the include from my tree now and will commit this later
(probably with the other changes your answr will make necessary).

Can you tell me what socket.h is needed for?

Sure. Thanks for the feedback.

I found out that "pro" means "instead of" (as in proconsul). Now I know
what proactive means.
