More stupidity from Microsoft.  You can also define
WINDOWS_LEAN_AND_MEAN to avoid the conflict.  The conflict itself is
that winsock.h (version 1) is included by default when windows.h is
included without declaring WINDOWS_LEAN_AND_MEAN which interferes with
winsock2.h.

The winsock2.h header checks to see that _WINSOCKAPI_ isn't defined
which indicates that winsock.h has been included.  IMO, the message
isn't appropriate for the sin since one could also include winsock.h
alone.
