Err, last I looked, the "having of select(4 args)" was rather too
heavily buried within the BSD networking package #ifdefs.  I have the
former, but not the latter (not on all my machines, at any rate), and I
recall that it appeared to be more work than the 5 mins I had at the
time to extricate it.  Was I wrong ? Any chance of an "official"
extrication thereof ?

Cheers...
