Subject: Patch to replace calls to select with poll

Folks,

Attached is a diff that replaces calls to 'select' with calls to
'poll.'  My intention in doing this was to allow stunnel to handle
more than 500 connections on a Solaris box where FD_SETSIZE is
1024.  Now the number of allowed clients is calculated only from
the allowable number of file descriptors.

Note, you also have to add -DPREFER_POLL=1 to the defines in
src/makefile to get this to work.  I'm still to lazy to add it to
configure.
