I would consider to be "native support" everything that comes
with the C standard library. Everything else is, at least for
me, optional - it might exist but doesn't have to. In other
languages (Java, Python) this is part of the core language
(if that was a brilliant idea will be clearer in let's say
20 years from now;-).

That's just what, in the rest of my post, I thought I had
mentioned;-) Though I wouldn't consider OpenGL to be a GUI
library ("simple GUI" doesn't evoke the association of "fast
3D rendering" for me but more "a few buttons and maybe a few
other useful widgets"). And I don't know, not being a Windows
programmer, how far the POSIX socket API is supported under
Windows, the OPs primary target - and my impression was any-
way that he wanted something more "high-level", that's why I
mentioned libcurl as something to consider for (at least) part
of his task.
