FD_SETSIZE is supposed to be defined, according to the POSIX spec:

    The <sys/select.h> header shall define the following symbolic constant,
    which shall have a value suitable for use in #if preprocessing directives:

        FD_SETSIZE
        Maximum number of file descriptors in an fd_set structure.

It looks like Linux sets it to 1024.  On RHEL6, at least, I find this:

$ grep -r FD_SETSIZE /usr/include
/usr/include/linux/posix_types.h:#undef __FD_SETSIZE
/usr/include/linux/posix_types.h:#define __FD_SETSIZE   1024
...
/usr/include/sys/select.h:#define       FD_SETSIZE              __FD_SETSIZE
...

Windows probably hasn't got sys/select.h at all, so it may not provide
this symbol.

Interestingly, it looks like POSIX also requires <sys/time.h> to define
FD_SETSIZE.  I wonder whether Windows has that header?  It'd definitely
be better to get this symbol from the system than assume 1024 will work.

                        regards, tom lane
