That would be wonderful :)

Though an alternate solution came up over on the OpenBSD list:
DragonBSD implements EVFILT_EXCEPT in addition to EVFILT_READ and EVFILE_WRITE.
This seems to be a much cleaner solution, where each of the three map
cleanly to a select() set.
(OSX has a few weird bugs when there are both POLLIN AND POLLPRI events).

Please let me know if there's anything I can help with.
