Research direction

Review the historical python-2.5.1-multicast-ssm.patch, unnamed patch, and python-release26maint-multicast-ssm.patch linked in the issue, then inspect the current socket extension implementation. Compare the patches with current socket APIs and RFC 3768 requirements. Done means SSM multicast support is implemented for the supported Python versions and covered by appropriate tests.
