[boost] Sockets

Sockets have come up from time to time on this list, without
concrete results. I am no expert, but based on previous 
discussions, I have tried to start describing a design at:
http://www.crystalclearsoftware.com/cgi-bin/boost_wiki/wiki.pl?BoostSocket
(I don't often write formal designs, so please excuse (or correct)
misuse of terminology etc.)

I propose working with a group of interested people to develop
this design and put together some code.

As my socket programming experience is limited to tcp/ip streams,
I would also like to ask people to provide small test cases.
In particular, examples of datagram usage, multicast,
broadcast, and non-ip usage.

Please feel free to edit the wiki pages with comments, etc.
