Some systems like HP-UX don't have sys/select.h; the select stuff is already present in some other headef file (e.g. sys/time.h for HP-UX).

Companion to
  "some systems don't have (and need) sys/select.h"

It could be alternately just squashed together with
"some systems don't have (and need) sys/select.h" by Robert Schiele.

Robert, could you please check this patch on HP-UX? It does work correctly on Linux (which has sys/select.h).
