Actually, this is a great reason to extract the socket server code in
a sharable library.  I'm definately not going to want to write Windows
code for gpgme-tool, because (1) I don't know anything about Windows
and (2) I don't have access to any Windows machines for testing.  If
libassuan had that part of the gpg-agent logic internally,
libassuan-based servers would run on Windows out-of-the-box, without
needing a Windows-capable dev attached to each server project.
