While scc.h #includes winsock.h for a Win32 build, the functions in
scc_driver.h are stubbed out unless you're building for Linux, Solaris, or
HP/UX.  I wouldn't think adding support for Win32 would be too difficult.
Windows Sockets isn't that different an interface from BSD sockets...hell,
Microsoft's Platform SDK recommends Stevens' _UNIX_Network_Programming_ as
an additional reference.  

(Off the top of my head, you'd want to #typedef SOCKET as int for non-Win32
systems (Win32 defines SOCKET as a unique type for socket descriptors),
change all socket descriptors from ints to SOCKETs, and put a conditional
around close() operations on socket descriptors so that it becomes
closesocket() when built under Win32.  There's probably other stuff you'd
need to change as well, such as the way network-related events are handled.)
