Headers tree

lib/platform/api_bsd.h  -  header file for BSD sockets     : includes section only;  
lib/platform/api_nt.h   -  header file for Winsock sockets : includes section only;  
	lib/platform/connect.h  -  detect platfrom and then includes related header; defines cross platform routine macros; includes routine header;  
			lib/routine.h  -  cross platform routine helper functions; body of header are divided by supported platforms;  
			lib/routine.c  -  includes connect.h;  
			lib/socket/tcp.h  -  TCP-related socket routine; cross platform; includes connect header;
