I didn't look into it and I'm absolutely not sure but my first guess is
that it is a problem with the winsock library(see _libwsock32_a_iname).
It might be on my system where the geany.exe was built is a newer
version than on your system which is probably incompatible.
If you want to, try updating your winsock.dll or winsock2.dll. IIRC,
these files can be freely downloaded. If these DLL's are up to date on
your system, maybe we need to build geany.exe against an older one than
this on WinXP. Again, this is only a guess.

Enrico
