This is not a bug, you need to set your project/programming environment in VC++ to include support for sockets. I haven't written any non socket programs in several years, so it's part of my standard set-up.
MySQL is client/server and uses sockets. You do need to link with a socket library. In the case of VC++ this is Winsock (wsock32.lib). I normally include support for sockets in my stdfx.h (#include <afxsock.h> // MFC socket extensions). This is included with your VC++ installation and not part of mysql source. Then, add wsock32.lib, mysqlclient.lib and any other external library you need to link with in your 'Project Settings'(Alt-F7'). These are added under the 'Link' tab in the 'Input' category. Libraries are added in the 'Object/library module' field separated by spaces (e.g. 'wsock32.lib mysqlclient.lib'). Don't forget to add the path to the mysqlclient library in the 'Additional library path:' field.
