Stelian, any updates on this? Are you planning to apply these patches,
or is there something you would like changed?

>>> machinery. This is done in three steps: make the monitor/harvest etc.
>>> methods on multiplexer accept just file descriptors as well as
>>> FD-ENTRYs (note that I've only done that for epoll in this set of
>>> patches, others to come!), export the handler methods, and add an
>>> optional flags parameter to the MONITOR-FD method (really useful for
>>> epoll, the other backends I'm not sure about).

>>> Let me know what you think. I'd like to get these patches (or at least
>>> the equivalent functionality of being able to use the multiplexer
>>> without having to make FD-ENTRYs) into IOlib as I'm about to release
>>> some software that uses it.

>>> Thanks,
