Nonblocking stdio

[Jim Mellander <jmellander@...>]

I have a lua application on unix which reads from stdio - there is some 
significant work it could do if there is no input.  I thought about 
kludging up a shim which would read from stdio, and write to a socket, 
from which my app could read from in non-blocking mode using the 
luasocket facilities.

It would be nice if the stdio facilities could use the luasocket 
'select' interface, etc.  Any ideas?
