[boost] Socket Implemnentation

I have put together an initial implementation in the boost-sandbox.

The aim of this code is really just to have something concrete
to discuss and to have as a base to experiment on.

The implementation more or less reflects the design presented at
http://www.crystalclearsoftware.com/cgi-bin/boost_wiki/wiki.pl?BoostSocket

The sandbox contains the simple client and server test shown on the Wiki.
At the moment the examples it compiles on:

gcc 3.2 cygwin
borland Bcc5.5.1
borland Bcc5.6.1
vc7
vc6 sp5

Note the lack of unix :-(, though given the cygwin implementation, it
should not be too difficult to get working.
