Only two points:
- Not only rexec, but also inet_aton, inet_addr, inet_ntoa, inet_network
are new functions. These are FreeBSD implementations which get us rid
of the equal Winsock calls.
- socklen_t is a typedef now. The socket functions using socklen_t
are now declared with socklen_t instead of int in /usr/include/sys/socket.h.
