Yes.  Don't mix winsock and Cygwin sockets unless you know *exactly*
what you're doing.  On the application level there's usually no reason
at all to include winsock headers and to use winsock sockets instead
of Cygwin sockets.  If wxWidgets is doing that, the developers should
be able to tell you why.  If it's for instance, IPv6, that's available
in Cygwin now as well.
