[Help-smalltalk] your emulation of select vs. winsock

[Paolo Bonzini]

I was wondering how does your Win32 emulation of select work with 
respect to sockets.  Sockets are normal filehandles in Win32, right?

I have two questions then:

1) If I am correct, your emulation only works with file descriptors.  So 
I should wrap all socket functions under Win32 so that they call 
_open_osfhandle or _get_osfhandle: otherwise, socketx.c receives 
half-file descriptors and half-file handles.

2) Even though MsgWaitForMultipleObjects works for sockets, I guess 
GetFileType should be called earlier, so that the state of sockets is 
correctly returned as readable or writable or both.
