All (or most?) of the test/libtest/lib*.c programs calling these two
function on Win32, will fail in the first select() since ...

On the first return from curl_multi_fdset(), max_fd would be -1. This doesn't
go well with Winsock; it doesn't like "select (0, ..., &interval)" which is equal
to a sleep(1).

I was thinking of changing the if-statement into:

      if (max_fd > -1 && select(max_fd+1, &rd, &wr, &exc, &interval) == -1) {
        fprintf(stderr, "bad select??\n");
        return 95;
      }

Does this hurt on other platforms than Win32? Or should we code our own
select() (in first.c) that handles the max_fd == -1 case?
