I'm dubious about the portability of this patch, because we don't
use ETIMEDOUT elsewhere.  strerror.c thinks it may not exist,
which is probably overly conservative because POSIX has required
it since SUSv2.  The bigger problem is that it's not accounted for in
the WSAxxx mapping done in port/win32_port.h and TranslateSocketError.
That'd have to be fixed for this to behave reasonably on Windows,
I think.
