XPLINK enabled version of the C Socket Library belonging to the IP CICS Socket Interface (part of z/OS Communications Server)

Would you mind considering to supply an XPLINK enabled version of the C Socket Library included in the IP CICS Socket Interface (part of z/OS Communications Server)?
And could you please update the CICS Socket Interface documentation by adding a note that the current version of the C Socket Library is not XPLINK enabled?
