Ticket #711:
socket:select is broken in Windows/MinGW

This is now vital since we are possibly dropping Watcom support. It seems that the dynamic loading was done and MinGW was not tested. The problem affects http_get/http_post. It's easy to see the error by doing:
eui demo/net/wget.ex http://google.com
The result is nothing. It's actually a machine crash in the C function. Euphoria terminates abruptly and w/o stack trace.
Reverting to a pre-dynamic be_socket.c/.h causes all to work great.

The problem appears to be calling convention of WSAFDIsSet_fntype on windows.

Regarding your change set. It is better to use WASAPI macro instead of optionally defining PASCAL again because WASAPI is the coding convention macro for these functions (which is set to PASCAL already), its redundant to define PASCAL.

The PASCAL macro is based on the MinGW headers. Since it's a MinGW problem, that seems like the correct way to handle it.
