OK, I have found some spare time and finally done that. Both select()
and ocamldebug now work on Win32. Console, pipes, disk files, sockets
can now be tested for reading; write and exceptional condition lists
are not supported yet (write probably cannot be implemented, at least
Cygwin and GDB don't care, but exceptional conditions probably can if
someone explains me an expected semantics).

The patch is attached. Please let me know what do you think of it.
