One thing I am doing now is to add an inproc socket to all of the "real
work" sockets I am using. The separate socket polling thread also polls
for this inproc socket and reads "commands" from it: pause, continue,
stop. I am sending a single char (P, C, S) in each case. This could also
become a standard way of making this loop stop whenever needed.

Note: pause / continue are useful to me because I must read data from a
DB and make sure that data has been read before I start processing
messages. 0MQ's inproc sockets make this thread synchronization easy and
inexpensive.
