Can wxSocket utilize asynchronous I/O on wxMSW?

One of my greater surprises over the differences in
socket use & features between UNIX and Windows
(winsock) was that in order to achieve CPU-efficient
*asynchronous* socket use in Windows, one should not
use the legacy socket/select interface but rather
resort to WSASocket with WSA_FLAG_OVERLAPPED.

While I can always work directly with Win32 API, I
like the encapsulation provided by wxWidgets (in
addition to the almost-taken-for-granted portability
potential, of course).

My question is: Does wxSocket support the
WSA_FLAG_OVERLAPPED mode of operation (in Windows)? Or
do I have to write my own class(es), derived from
wxSocketBase?

Thanks,
Dave
