Proposed change to "require sys/socket.ph"

Because of the way the latest version of libwww suggests solving
socket.ph problems, any other files which require socket.ph
would need to be edited if the user generates his own version
of this, i.e. libwww would need multiple files edited.
To ease this problem, I suggest having a file called
"www_sys_socket.ph"
with one line in it:
require "sys/socket.ph";
All files require'ing "sys/socket.ph" should instead require
"www_sys_socket.ph". This way, if the user needs to roll their own using
the c source included in the latest release, he can just overwrite
"www_sys_socket.ph" and not have to edit anything else.
If we start including other ph files for any reason, I'd suggest
this format to be follwed for them as well.
