One thing I forgot to mention that I guess I had assumed was understood:

I am intending to drop GSocket and implement everything in the  
wxSocket classes (as appropriate).  I guess I'm assuming that anything  
that extracts the GSocket from a wxSocket is depending on an  
implementation detail and is therefore fair game for broken compiles.   
I figure that in case anyone needs GSocket, a compile flag will be  
added before the code including the new implementation gets added to  
the official wxWidgets distribution.
