There are a couple of other places where [select()] is used for small sleeps (storage/lmgr/s_lock.c and access/transam/xact.c) - those should possibly be abstracted out (Windows doesn't behave well there anyway, I believe - with 0 FDs I read somewhere it returns immediately regardless of the timeout setting).
What is the preferred way to handle these 2 cases? We could handle them with #ifdef'd code inline, or create a new function pg_usleep(), or possibly handle it with conditional macros inline. If a new function or macro, where should they go?
