It is about how to do nonblocking check on a file descriptor descriptor 
to see if there is some data available. It is not as heavy weight as a 
full select.

If you need the full select, why don't you try 
WaitForMultipleObjects(Ex)? IIRC it should allow you to wait on any 
waitable object (file descriptor should be waitable) with timeout...
