Title: Request Winsock API version 2.2 instead of 1.1

Currently, `initWinSock.c` requests version 1.1 of the Winsock API, even though we are including `winsock2.h`. I doubt this is intentional, given that `initWinSock.c` has barely been touched since 2003. Winsock 1.1 is very very old (Windows 95 era).

I don't know what impact this change will have on applications. I haven't been able to find a clear explanation of the differences between the Winsock API versions.
