It would be really nice if someone takes a look at sockets since this is a basic
area missing from boost currently.  As something basic, you need to be mentally
prepared for a large number of suggestions and comments.

As a first task I recommend you read some of the archives.  There have been
extensive discussions of the both requirements and design for the socket
library.  Here are a few more memorable threads (search on yahoo groups socket
for the full list)

This will provide you with some of the background behind the requirements and
features specs already developed:
