I wonder if gnulib should fix configmake.h to first include <winsock2.h>
when that header exists. It will pollute the namespace more heavily, but
would at least make configmake.h always work when included first, and
make compile errors due to windows namespace pollution easier to find
reliably and not just because a project randomly changes its own include
ordering.
