I'd certainly prefer the fselect() in evnt_multi() method, but it should
be possible to hack it other ways.  For example, you could tfork() a new
thread that does the fselect() and then instructs the "gui" thread to
exit from evnt_multi() either by sending it an AES message (probably
slower), or sends that thread a signal such as SIGALRM, which
theoretically should cause the evnt_multi() loop to exit.
