Thanks, the macro you suggested removes the following dependencies:

CreateIoCompletionPort
GetQueuedCompletionStatus
PostQueuedCompletionStatus

I'm going to try other flags but do you know if there is a way to remove 
also the following calls and use the C functions?

WSARecv
WSARecvFrom
WSASend
WSASendTo
WSASocketA
WSAStringToAddressA
