yep, the problem is this one:
there is a huge function dispatcher, which calls an appropriate socks
function if available and otherwise the usual socket funct. the question
is, whether one should make the whole dispatcher use socklen_t natively
or make the explicit conversions immediately before calling the
native socket functions. 
however, i didn't look at the code too close, as i'm busy enough with
my favourite toy kdm. :)

the exact meaning is this:
<> -> search only the -I directories (including builtin paths)
"" -> search current directory first, then same as <>
at least i think i remember having read something like that once upon
a time. :)
as in kde config.h is never in ., but in the -I paths, <> theoretically
saves a few milliseconds. :)
