It cannot work on msysgit because

- on Windows, select() works only for sockets, but we poll() on pipes, too;

- in our emulation layer, fds that are sockets must be unpacked with 
_get_osfhandle() before they can be passed to FD_SET() because (as Paolo has 
pointed out) FD_SET() must be populated with handles, not fds.
