Its OK to remove this. HAVE_SOCKETS was needed for the original release 
of Windows 95, as sockets were an optional component that was not always 
installed. Later versions (including a later update of Windows 95) 
always install with networking support.  SOCK_REPLACE_HANDLE looks like 
it was experimental code from when sockets were first implemented.
