Hi,

I not only use libcURL but use Stunnel as well, and the same choice has
been discussed on the list mailing.unix.stunnel-users last month : they
came to the conclusion that using poll() would be the best solution.
(And for the sake of portability, when poll() returns a negative value,
it *has* to be -1 to be portable.

Philippe.
