- Added some typeof checks to handle JS errors introduced in VS2014
- Added VS2014 to the list of compilers
- Changed to use stdint.h if we are using VS2014 or higher
- Skip defining timespec if we're using VS2014 or higher
- Moved u_char typedef out to always be defined regardless of VS version
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.
