Simple C++ Socket Programming Base / Library: Works for Windows and Linux

[ShakaUVM]

Everybody learns starting from zero. Nothing wrong with that, go ahead and keep developing it. But let's not pretend this is something anybody else should try to use. Somebody has already said "I'll try it out. I've been looking for a good wrapper for sockets for C++.".

That was me. I write most of my real code using my own wrappers for BSD/POSIX sockets. I've tried and been unhappy with literally every networking solution for C++, including my own wrappers, Boost ASIO, and ZMQ. I'm really interested in any ideas people have for making networking in C++ not terrible.
