BRNet Portable C++ Socket Library

About

The standard socket libraries available today, namely the Berkeley Sockets API & Winsock2, are primarily focused toward C programmers. As a C++ programmer I've always winced at the idea of unsightly C code strewn throughout a clean C++ program. The desire for a portable & clean C++ socket library combined with my desire to learn more about socket programming lead to this package. Hopefully, I've produced a useable and effective abstraction for C++ network programmers.
