PHP has been since its inception strongly influenced by C.
And as a tool originally conceived on Unix, it should
maintain its roots and continue to provide people familiar
with Unix APIs a convenient way for scripting.
Thus, improved Windows support should not come at the expense
of Unix support without a perfect reason. I'm missing that
reason here.
I haven't looked deeply at what API changes have been
introduced lately, but I'd suggest to use the standard BSD
sockets return value semantics (-1 for failure, >= 0 for
success). Those semantics also prevail in the Winsock
implementation, so they should be quite natural.
