[New-bugs-announce] [issue6591] add reference to fcntl.ioctl in the socket module

[Gabriel Genellina]

New submission from Gabriel Genellina <gagsl-py2 at yahoo.com.ar>:

socket.ioctl says it is Windows specific, and people may think there 
is no way to use ioctl with sockets in non-Windows platforms (see 
http://groups.google.com/group/comp.lang.python/browse_thread/
thread/246f4522ad215d74 )
This doc patch adds a reference to the fcntl.fcntl and fcntl.ioctl 
functions so people is aware of them.
