Re: PATCH: Support Windows in event-loop.c

Does that seem like a workable plan to you?
I don't think we should add something this limited.
OK. I'll go code up something select-like for Windows.
It will not be fully general because each new kind of event we want to
wait for will in general require a new API call, and I can't enumerate
what the eventual complete set might be. (In UNIX, everything is a file
descriptor from this point of view; not true in Windows.) However, it
will at least have the right interface.
I'm not personally aware of how to get anything other than a console
handle into this loop. Can you give me a test procedure that should get
me something else, given the currently limited functionality on
(non-Cygwin) Windows? Otherwise, I'd still prefer to add the generality
to select once I can test what I'm dealing with.
Thanks,
