It can be duplicated, but with simplifications (basically, just in the
code that you've committed initially, plus a dozen lines of code).

Winsock's select() can't be fixed. You can eitehr wrap around it (with
threads), or just go on and rewrite ws2_32.dll from the ground up
(ReactOS, maybe?).

Use threads. Really. That's the cleanest solution i know of.
We could probably push it into plibc, if your objection is to the
presence of extra threading in MHD itself, rather than the presence of
extra threading in MHD+plibc combination...H-m-m-m...ndurner, what do
you think?
