Would there be any serious harm in:

1. doing the WSAStartup() when the first connection is opened, but
2. cleaning up from either
2a. some kind of on-unload version of DllMain() if possible, or
2b. an explicit new cleanup function

?

(I know it says you can't set the thing up from DllMain, but does it say
something similar about shutdown?)
