From Configure.pl :
=item C<--expnetwork>
Enable experimental networking. This is an unused option and should
probably be removed.

Originally this option was intended to turn on PARROT_NET_DEVEL in
io/io_private.h.
I think that this allows Parrot to talk to sockets.
Current PARROT_NET_DEVEL = 1 is hardcoded. I this is the way it should be,
we can eliminate PARROT_NET_DEVEL and '--expnetwork' altogether.
But the larger question is about a Parrot security strategy, that specifies
how Parrot can interact with the local system and the world.
CU, Bernhard
