Sometimes, there's no other good way, if the original code was too
entrenched in Posix assumptions (which isn't portability in my book,
btw).
Again, I wonder why you didn't back me up back when Mark Mitchell
submitted his `select' emulation and I suggested to encapsulate the
Windows-specific bits in a Windows-specific file. Did you change your
views since then?
