Hmm, I am using gnet_conn_readany() and gnet_conn_write(), so I assume that 
these will be affected by your changes, right?

What is going to happen to the timeouts? Are they just not going to be 
implemented, or is the value set with gnet_conn_timeout() being used?


btw, what's the Linux/glib poll problem? (I am asking because I have some code 
with an io_channel and a pipe, and that code works perfectly fine on linux, 
but not at all on FreeBSD, and I just can't make it work on FreeBSD).
