 Is that safe? What happens if you try to *use* SocksSocket on Windows?
 That is - if we enable it by default?

 > The only new Windows warning I see is:
 > {{{
 > src/or/connection.c: In function 'connection_listener_new':
 > src/or/connection.c:1069:23: warning: unused variable 'options'
 [-Wunused-variable]
 >    or_options_t const *options = get_options();
 >                        ^
 > }}}

 Did we really not use it?
