Gregory, thanks, that's what I was planning to do.

But since the recent discussions (mainly on selectors), there are points I obviously don't - and won't - agree with (such as select() returning EINTR or returning early, same for sleep()), I'm not interested in this anymore.
Anyone interested can pick this up, though.

(BTW, as for applications relying on EINTR being returned, I'm positive *way more applications* will break because of the recent change making file descriptors close-on-exec by default).
