In other words, in late 2004 or early 2005 a new set of functions was added
that matched the C prototypes more closely with a "fp" as prefix.

Three kinds of changes are necessary:
- most socket functions will need to get a "fp" prefix (like all other 
   *nix FPC functions)
- some socket functions are slightly renamed to match C names
(getsocketoption to getsockopt
- It might be necessary to add @ here and there, since the prototypes are
  now C like, and uses pointers instead of untyped VAR parameters.
