[Haskell-cafe] Suggestion for Network.Socket in regards to PortNumber

[John Van Enk]

I'll take a swing at it. :) If it's as easy as it was to get HsOpenSSL
to build without the ./configure (on windows even!), it shouldn't be
too bad.

PS: If any one has contact with the maintainers of HsOpenSSL, poke
them for me. I'd like my patch included. :)
