Unfortunately it's necessary...  I'm trying to write a ruby module,
and ruby uses soft threads for portability's sake.  It's also
unfortunately not threadsafe, or I could just dump the sequencer stuff
in a pthread and go from there.

It does provide rb_thread_select(), which uses select() but schedules
its own threads while blocking.

The pollfd struct does provide the 'events' member which can have
POLLIN and/or POLLOUT, so I should still be able to put the
descriptors in the right group for select, no?

thanks,
