Summary: Expose curl socket descriptors for the curl_multi API's.

Initial Comment:
Hi,

This is a feature request. For applications that don't want to rely on curl's callbacks for the curl_multi API's, it would be nice if curl can expose the actual socket descriptors. This will allow applications to put these sockets in their own event mechanism such as libevent or libev. Currently, libcurl only supports curl_multi_fdset that restricts applications to use 'select' only.

Thanks.

If you're using an event-based system you will not get a good experience
out of libcurl without using the multi_socket() API thus I believe
exporting the sockets any other way is rather useless.

If you think otherwise, please join the curl-library list and explain to
us all why you think so and what benefits your suggestion would have to
users. Very few people will read this post in the tracker, and even fewer
will care about it.
