yes, as I tried to explain in my previous mail: All platform dependent code 
has been concentrated in these 4 socket_* functions. Currently, we still miss 
the defines for OSX and Win32 but that should not be too hard to add.

Can you be more specific on what should be more modular / generic ?
What makes you think raw_sock is global and where do you see a problem with 
that variable ?

Feel free to ask.
