Summary: Fix for #777597 - socketmodule.c connection handling incorec

Initial Comment:
I took Garth Bushell's inlined code from
http://python.org/sf/777597 and produced a patch per
nnorwitz's request in the bug comments. The patch is
for Python 2.3.4.

I created the patch as a starting point for a fix. I
don't believe that this patch is the correct fix for
the problem, so it should definitely not be applied in
the current form.

One major problem is that Garth removed the writefds
fd_set, which means that the code will detect
"connection refused" and "timeout" events, but not
"connection established". The code also needs
compliation and runtime testing (maybe even a
regression test to cover this common WinSock
programming error?).

I hope to submit a fixed and tested patch soon. I'll
upload it here when it is ready.
