### Please describe the problem.
Attempting to do *anything* with an S3 reomote using git-annex on windows fails with error code 10093 (i.e. WSA_NOT_INITIALISED).
### What steps will reproduce the problem?
Assuming you have a disabled S3 remote called "the-cloud" (e.g. a fresh clone)
[[!format sh """
C:\annex> git annex enableremote "the-cloud"
2015-02-05 07:23:57 +00:00

"""]]
### What version of git-annex are you using? On what operating system?
git-annex 5.20150113-gcf247cf on windows 8.1
### Please provide any additional information below.
This error is caused by the Winsock library not being initialised before a socket operation is attempted. The patch below fixes the issue, and it should be a no-op on non-Windows platforms.
