The $Id$ keywords were used in Subversion where they can be substituted
with filename, last revision number change, last changed date, and last
user who changed it.
In Git this functionality is different and can be done with Git attribute
ident. These need to be defined manually for each file in the
.gitattributes file and are afterwards replaced with 40-character
hexadecimal blob object name which is based only on the particular file
contents.
This patch simplifies handling of $Id$ keywords by removing them since
they are not used anymore.
windows sockets. The winsock implementation will only work with sockets;
our implementation works with sockets and file descriptors.
By association, stream_select() will now operate correctly with files, pipes and sockets.
This change required linking against the winsock2 library. In terms of
compatibility, only older versions of windows 95 do not have winsock2
installed by default. It is available as a redistributable file, and is most likely installed by any OS patches (eg: Internet Explorer) applied by the user.
Also, add a win32 compatible pipe test when opening a stream from a pipe. This test will only work on NT, win2k and XP platforms. Without this test, interleaved fread() and select() calls would cause the read buffer to be clobbered. I will be working on a fix for this issue for win9x.
