Hopefully you have all the FD_SET macros etc finished. The code that
will be used is in nano/server/srvmain.c, in the function GsSelect().
If you have the include/linux/*.h header files that define this stuff,
I'd like to have them so that at least I can keep nanoX compiling...
Also, it might not be a bad idea to test the select using a console fd and serial
tty fd...

Great. The nano/server/drivers/kbd_tty.c code is currently being
used and compiling under bcc.

I don't really know how much more stuff will be added. I'm aware that
Alex Holden has started working heavily on the code again. There are a number of things
that would be nice to add. There isn't agreement yet on what the driver model should
be, though.

Cool. I've also hand-written a bunch of #asm stuff for the elks release...
