That was the most beautiful ugly thing I've seen in a long time. :-)

Unfortunately I haven't managed to get it to work:
1) Try [DllImport("__Internal")] extern int _wapi_socket(..)
Swallowed Exception: System.EntryPointNotFoundException: _wapi_socket

2) Try [DllImport("mono-2.0")] extern int _wapi_socket(..)
Swallowed Exception: System.EntryPointNotFoundException: _wapi_socket

Even with some nm-ing I'm not sure where it is exported...  Ohh so
close...
