KNOWN_BUG: The SOCKET type in Win64 is 64 bits

Browse Source 
The SOCKET type in Win64 is 64 bits large (and thus so is curl_socket_t

curl_easy_getinfo() to return a socket properly with the
CURLINFO_LASTSOCKET option as for all other operating systems.

@ -198,6 +198,9 @@ working with the socket, you must call curl_easy_cleanup() as usual and let
libcurl close the socket and cleanup other resources associated with the
handle. This is typically used in combination with \fICURLOPT_CONNECT_ONLY\fP.
(Added in 7.15.2)
NOTE: this API is not really working on win64, since the SOCKET type on win64
is 64 bit large while its 'long' is only 32 bits.
.IP CURLINFO_FTP_ENTRY_PATH
Pass a pointer to a char pointer to receive a pointer to a string holding the
path of the entry path. That is the initial path libcurl ended up in when
