Actually, on consideration the use of winsock2. in zmq.h doesn't have
any relation to this fix.  The core zmq classes will happily now work
with up to 1024 sockets on Windows.  However any application including
zmq.h will find itself getting FD_SETSIZE set to 64.

I've logged this issue here: https://github.com/zeromq/zeromq2/issues/issue/110

Anyone with a moment to spare and a Windows box may wish to experiment
with higher values than 1024 (which were good for 1999 or so).  I'll
run some tests of my own this weekend when I get access to a Windows
workstation.
