Bug description

Full_Name: Alon Kama
Version: 3.08-2
OS: OS X (darwin)
Submission from: 85-64-152-87.barak.net.il (85.64.152.87)

On 4.4BSD, In order to use IP Multicasting, the SO_REUSEPORT must be given as a
parameter to setsockopt. On other Unixes and Linux, SO_REUSEADDR is good
enough.

Ocaml 3.08 supports calling SO_REUSEADDR but not SO_REUSEPORT. I've manually
changed the code and added this option, and have verified that it works as
necessary. I'm requesting to add this option to the next release.

Thanks.
