fsockopen() doesn't return meaningful error codes, so there is no way to
tell the difference between, say, "connection refused" and "connection
timed out"

Ok, this has been cleaned up.  fsockopen() now returns FALSE like all the other PHP functions on a failure, but in order to get useful information from a failure you can now pass in two optional arguments (by reference).

ie.

  fsockopen($ip,$port,&$errno,&$errstr)

These will be set to the errno and error string that come back from the system-level connect() call.
