Summary: poll docs should mention timeout unit

Initial Comment:
the documentation about polling objects  does not seem
to mention
what unit the timeout is specified in. it is
especially important because it is in milliseconds
whereas select.select and time.time use seconds.
maybe it should be in bold.

Ok, ok, I've read the manpage and the code now.

Fixed in Doc/lib/libselect.tex revisions 1.18 and 1.17.4.1.

Fred, it *is* in milliseconds, and you can update the docs
yourself. ;-)

Assigned to Andrew since he's familiar with poll() and the
Python interface to it.
