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.
