[RFC] [PATCH] Extend block and wakeup handling to cover writes as well

[Pierre Ossman]

For TigerVNC we need to ability to gracefully wait for a client socket
to become writeable again. Right now we have to either patch the Xorg
code, or resort to polling. I'd very much prefer if we could hook into
the main select loop properly. :)

Please see the attached patch and see if this seems like a reasonable
way to solve this. I thought about changing the BlockHandlerProc
definition, but it is exposed in application headers so it didn't seem
safe to touch.

PS. Please cc me on any replies, and allow for some delay in responses
on account of holidays. :)

A: Because it messes up the order in which people normally read text.
Q: Why is top-posting such a bad thing?
