Thanks for the report. Indeed, although both <winsock.h> and <winsock2.h>
declare the 'select' function, <winsock2.h> is usually preferred nowadays.

The conditional for Woe32 platforms, excluding Cygwin (which has normal Unix 
API),
is
   #if (defined _WIN32 || defined __WIN32__) && !defined __CYGWIN__

Also, it's stylistically preferrable to put platform dependent include files
after the last platform-independent include file, not before.
