Seems pretty simple - mingw doesn't have support for this. We have two
ways to deal with that I think:
1) Disable it on mingw.
2) Include it in our custom headers.

For #2, what we need to include is the define of SIO_KEEPALIVE_VALS as
well as the definition of struct tcp_keepalive.

We've done #2 before at least once, which worked well until mingw
suddenly caught up and added it a while later. It's not like this is a
new definition in windows, but we need to be ready for them to
eventually do that.

Yeah.  I'm satisfied with doing #1 and waiting for them to fix it.

I guess there is:
3) write an autoconf test and provide them only when mingw doesn't have it.
if we're going with #3, I'll respectfully have to ask somebod yelse to
write the autoconf test, that's beyond me I think :-)

An easy approximation would be to make the code #ifdef SIO_KEEPALIVE_VALS.
That would fail if the mingw guys decide to provide the #define without
adding the struct at the same time, but that seems moderately unlikely.

                        

+1 for this course of action.

cheers
