We wouldn't need that. When I speak of non-blocking connects, I mean the same
kind of non-blocking method that is available for unixes already (not the
windows-style asynchronous approach). We get this by setting the socket in
non-blocking state, which I've been told is done similar to this in windows:

  ioctlsocket(socket, FIONBIO, (u_long FAR *)&nonblock);

... then we can select() on the socket.

This would work similarly on all platforms that support non-blocking
connects.

Thanks!

BTW, if you tell me your name I'll give you credit in the changes files
etc... :-)
