ISTM that the patch your propose, a full reimplementation of the abstract 
poll/select fd set interface for windows, is overkill because it adds 
about 80 lines of code. ISTM that just redefining some macros is enough to 
get the same performance benefit without adding much to the code base, but 
maybe I'm missing something. At least, I do not think that getting rid of 
the FD_SETSIZE redefinition for windows is worth all that trouble.
