hi,

some more sync up patches coming soon for fixing fd_set overflow problems.
after discussing with kkenn, it is felt that kqueue/kevent will be used
instead of select(2).  much of openbsd has been moving to poll(2) (not
poll(3), afaik) as well as a couple other ways.  kkenn felt (if i am
incorrect let me know :-)) that if the move was just from select to poll,
then it would just be better to use kqueue and kevent.

i offered up the idea of doing a #ifdef conditional for using either
kqueue or poll... but im not sure this is beneficial.

anyway, im posting this here for comments prior to doing the patches :-)

thanks,

andrew
