The discussions about a networking library here in the boost mailing
list, IIRC, people defined that a lower-level abstraction was a need.
And I think it really is.
Would be very helpful to have RAII with sockets without needing to
reimplement it every time. As is needed to be able to use completion
ports or async IO with networking, that wont be available in your
library. (or am I missing something?)

best regards,
Felipe
