Being more or less intuitive is not the point.  The idea was to have as
little cygwin kludge code as possible.  Thus, we'd just have one call to
atexit() during startup, with the single cleanup function being able to
handle any and all opened sockets, and we're done (if this is even
feasible -- I haven't looked into it).  This was prompted by Martin's
statement that he considers this a cygwin bug -- I was assuming that he
didn't want to make sweeping changes to all the cleanup code in rsync.
Whether he wants to handle this in a more invasive manner is up to him.
