Well, if we have to use native select(), can I assume that there will 
only be three cases, namely UNIX, Windows and BeOS (looks like that's 
the case from selectmodule.c)?

Assume the above is true, what needed to done is to create a C API 
from select_select() so that socketmodule.c can use it.  Is that 
correct?

Let's see where we are when I finished the test suite.  I'll do it 
if it's still hasn't been done.
