They (fd_set and select()) work under Windows too. The easy interface code
use this approach "under the hood".

There have been one or two bugs in this department discovered in 7.9.7
though, so the upcoming 7.9.8 (perhaps using a pre-release) should be better
off doing these things...

PS. I'm happy to see that people are slowly finding out about the multi
interface. Keep in mind that it is not very old nor very much used interface
to libcurl. Post suggestions of improvements, bugs or whatever you think we
should know about or do!
