I have, after a little trouble, been able to install MS VC++ Express on
a Window machine, and I tested this out. Like using tcflush() on UNIX, I
noticed a (good) difference.

I'm going to test it a little more and become more familiar with VC++.
As long as everything is still running smoothly, I'm considering merging
this to /nmap later tonight or tomorrow. If you object to this, please
say so! :)

Thanks,
