//
// The Networking class acts as a central point for setup, cleanup, and access
// to network services. For example, when using WinSock, the DLL initialization
// must occur once when the program starts up and the shutdown must occur once
// as the program shuts down. The constructor and destructor of the "Network"
// instances of this class handles that work. There should only be one instance
// of this class anywhere in the program and that instance is created when this
// module is included. DON'T MAKE MORE INSTANCES OF THIS :-)
//
// Part of the reason for this class is to handle all of the cross-platform
// weirdness involved in handling sockets and conversions. This way all of the
// ifdef switched code can be consolidated into this utility class and the
// code for the remaining classes can remain nice and clean by using this
// class to handle those tasks.
