Re: [PATCH v2] Windows: improve performance by avoiding a static dependency on ws2_32.dll and advapi32.dll

Thanks. Due to the size of the change, I would acknowledge it only if you
have a proof that the reduced startup costs are noticable, for example, by
running the test suite.

What's the deal with bswap? Isn't it an unrelated change? It needs some
better justification. It is unobvious because it is not straight-forward
"use pointer to function that was looked up instead of function".

Will the result not break the MSVC build?

"git status" calls ntohs function, which was loaded from ws2_32.dll
I've noticed that bswap.h contains implementation of ntohl htonl functions,
so I decided to add implementation of ntohs htons functions, which is
pretty trivial.
After that call to "git status" doesn't load ws2_32.dll
