Great (except I no longer have any good excuses for not taking a closer
look at SDL_net...) ;-)

I'll try to get my head around the networking stuff and see whether I can
provide a TCP/IP implementation. Any helping hands welcome, of course.
(And just in case anybody else wants to look at Henk's patch, note that
it's in reverse, so apply with -r. Of course, there's also lots of
Palm-specific stuff in there which makes it a bit messy, plus it
doesn't apply cleanly against current CVS...)

Thanks!
