Right now, no.  It a loop quite similar to the one used in zmq_poll
IIRC.  With RCVTIMEO/SNDTIMEO, it would be very different however, and
I couldn't used it in the Windows implementation because of the crappy
behavior.(but whatever, I already write the code down, so no trouble
here).

See my previous message on what I want to do next.
