Is it perhaps possible to write an emulation of `select' that would

Well, Cygwin has select, so it is *possible*. But, it's not easy, and it doesn't really map terribly well onto what Windows provides.

As Daniel says, this is very much analogous to poll/select; different systems provide different low-level mechanisms for waiting for input.
