Re: select implementation for a "file descriptor set"

["Peter Loveday" <peter@...>]

This is tricky on Windows... certainly you can wait for multiple objects
such as file I/O, serial, sockets etc; but not with a select(), which is
only valid for sockets.  This is one area of Windows that's a real PITA; the
lack of a single signal/messaging system for timers, UI events, sockets,
asyc I/O, semaphores etc... they all have different mechanisms.
