Actually, I think I was wrong here.  As James Mansion pointed out,
it's okay to call WSAStartup more than once.  And given that I just
spent 30 minutes trying to track down a bug that was really just
forgetting to call WSAStartup() from inside a test in a configure
script, I've become pretty sure that it is a useful thing to do.
