Presumably there are situations where you'd not want to take over the
socket (or share it with an existing process? I'm not sure what the
semantics are). I didn't want to make it the default, but I did wrap
the setsockopt() calls to make it as easy as possible. [Hmmm.. and it
looks like I call it for the base http and ftp server classes]
