Good question. I think dll should call WSAStartup (already done). For
library perhaps dblib could use dbinit/dbexit and ctlib could use
ct_init/ct_exit. However I think that if soneone wants to use static
library you should know that it has to call WSAStartup. Honestly I think
that if someone want to use socket in windows it should just link to
wsock32.dll or ws2_32.dll but it seems that Microsoft don't think so.
