As far as I know, they are on POSIX and Windows.

ETIMEDOUT is consistent with how these are mostly used, which is for
accept() and connect(). But EAGAIN is probably better for recv() and
send().

No hurry. It's great to see your patches. Remember that the 2.2 branch
is there for adding new functionality to 2.x, it's basically the same
code base as 2.1 with a few new features.
