Before sending the patch, another question about the way you detect
winsock*.h
CURL_CHECK_HEADER_WINSOCK2 just disables the detection of winsock2.h with
cegcc or mingw32ce compilers. But that file is actually provided by cegcc or
mingw32ce:
torri:~/gitroot/c-ares: ll
/home/torri/local/opt/mingw32ce/arm-mingw32ce/include/winsock*.h
-rw-r--r-- 1 torri torri 50234 2010-02-02 16:08
/home/torri/local/opt/mingw32ce/arm-mingw32ce/include/winsock2.h
-rw-r--r-- 1 torri torri 16674 2010-02-02 16:08
/home/torri/local/opt/mingw32ce/arm-mingw32ce/include/winsock.h
in addition, msdn says that the socket functions are available since Windows
CE 1.0 in winsock2.h and libws2.lib:

(see the requirements at the bottom of the page)
Also look at
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms910249.aspx
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms930354.aspx
I don't know if it is still worth supporting winsock 1 applications as there
is such backward compatibility. What's your opinion ?

Vincent Torri
PS: currently, i can't compile c-ares with mingw32ce
