Bug description

Hello,
One cannot compare between sockets on windows, because
their representation is abstract.

For example:

open Printf
open Unix

let _ =
if stdout=stdin then
printf("WRONG\n")
else
printf("OK");
()

On Unix there is no problem, because sockets are represented as
integers, however, on Windows, the representation is abstract.

Can you fix this?

By the way, I recently interfaced with several socket
options not supported in the Unix library. This interface is used
in the Ensemble distribution. Are you interested in a port for the Unix
library ?

Ohad.
