Need reliable datagrams

The lack of SEQ_PACKET is indeed a real drag.  The only way I could get around
it was to make up my own meta-packets with their own byte counts, etc., and then
use SOCK_STREAM sockets.  By using ioctls, and the like, you can check if all
the data you sent is there yet, and wait for it if it is not.  A pain, but it
works....
