. Fixed numerous bugs.
. Added automatic host lookup capability to all functions that take addr's

. Corrected and standardized host lookup errors
. Modified socket_recv() behavior. [$r=socket_recv($sock, $buf, $len, $flags)]
. Added socket_set_block() which changes a socket into blocking IO mode
. Modified socket_last_error() to not clear the last error
. Added socket_clear_error() which clears the last error on a socket
. Removed all code pertaining to fd_sets (socket_fd_*)
