Thanks,
Obviously gnetlibrary is in your good books :D
I also found SDL_net, but it requires SDL, and isn't _designed_ to go with
gtk even though it would probably be no problem.

I think I'd rather use gnet than tackle the specificities myself (let's stop
reinventing the wheel eh? :P)
Plus, gnet is just source, so I should just be able to compile it into my
binary, yay!
