Description:
mysql.h:
#ifdef __LCC__
#include <winsock2.h>				/* For windows */
#endif

Could winsock2.h be included on Windows when __LCC__ isn't defined as well?
I'm using Visual C++ 2010.
I know I could include winsock2.h myself before including mysql.h, but I don't see why this can't be fixed the proper way.

How to repeat:
#include <mysql/mysql.h>

int main()
{
  return 0;
}

See bug #438 also...

Verified by code review. Not sure if we still need it this way... Workaround is to include other headers before mysql.h :)

I like solutions, not work arounds. ;)
