Only two points:

- Not only rexec, but also inet_aton, inet_addr, inet_ntoa, inet_network
  are new functions.  These are FreeBSD implementations which get us rid
  of the equal Winsock calls.

- socklen_t is a typedef now.  The socket functions using socklen_t
  are now declared with socklen_t instead of int in /usr/include/sys/socket.h.
