[fpc-pascal]Error compiling the unit Source code ssockets.pp

Thus spoke Stefan Becker (becker at lufa-sp.vdlufa.de):

I do not know anything about the Function DoConnect, but since
the compiler complains about the 'addr' variable being a const
variable, try changing 'const' to 'var', i.e:

 Function DoConnect(Sock:longint;var addr: TInetSockAddr): Boolean;
                                 ^^^
Hope this helps (and don't break anything)!  :-)
