well, libproxy is really not a lib.  it's linked into the core at link 
time.

not sure i understand this.  that's the way service modules call 
services in the core.  all service modules are dependent on interfaces 
exported by the core.  libproxy shouldn't be dependent on how it should 
do socket connects, only on what should go over those sockets.

socket implementations are different on different platforms, so need to 
be handled elsewhere.
