Hi,

LuaSocket 1.2,  soon to be  released (less  then a week)  allows a
timeout to be  specified for the accept method  of server sockets.
The  function returns  nil and  "timeout" in  case noone  shows up
before a timeout condition.

It also  provides UDP support,  faster (way way faster)  line mode
I/O and a few other goodies.

Does anyone have  any other suggestion (wish)? Maybe I  can add it
before I close the release, or maybe some other time?

Regards,
Diego.
