I'm looking to
 - remove the platform dependency defining struct_sockaddr_in
 - provide a platform independent struct_sockaddr_un
 
What is the deal with the sin_len field?
We never fill it in?
It is difficult to find documentation as to the meaning of the field.
 
There is this:

But I believe we have always just left it as zero and I will probably do that.
 
 
I believe the historical practise here is out of date with IPv6 around, as well.
