I assume you can do something like

     int WSAAPI (*pWSAPoll)(WSAPOLLFD *, ULONG, INT);
     HINSTANCE hWinsock2 = GetModuleHandle("WS2_32");
     *(FARPROC *)&pWSAPoll = GetProcAddress(hWinsock2, "WSAPoll");
     if (pWSAPoll == NULL)
         ...

to get a function pointer for WSAPoll on versions which support it.

Modules/_winapi.c does something similar to get CancelIoEx.
