You used to be able to call cyg_select_abort(), which would wake up
any thread that was blocking in cyg_select_with_abort() -- which had
the same semantics as select() except it could be aborted.  It was a
great feature that I found exactly fit my needs.  But, that feature
disappeared.

Now the only practical solution I've found is to always use a timeout
when you call select() and just poll the abort condition.  No, it's
not very elegent, it wastes CPU, and in introduces a lot of latency.
