This code won't compile on MinGW; these missing files aren't present on 
Win32. You can probably replace them by Winsock (#include <winsock.h>), 
but it differs in many details from BSD Sockets - at least for 
non-trivial programs.

You have 2 options:

* Learn to use both BSD Sockets and Winsock, and port the code.
* Use Cygwin instead of MinGW, that tries to emulate the BSD Sockets 
behaviour.
