The branch is still on nmap-exp and I keep on maintaining it (though I
should check whether everything is fine after the recent changes on
the SVN infrastructure). There are just a couple (AIX-related)
revisions that haven't been merged yet from nsock (trunk), as I can't
test them. So currently you can assume that nsock uses select(2).

nsock-engines offers no way to get the engine identifier or
characteristics, as I absolutely wanted to preserve the external API,
but adding getters would be easy, just need to know what is desired.
