How about an API like:

curl_select_init(select_handle);
curl_select_add_handle(select_handle, curl_handle) // instead of calling
perform
curl_select_remove_handle(select_handle, curl_handle)
curl_select_callback(select_handle, function, void*) // tells user about
new data
curl_select_readsize(select_handle, int)
curl_select_writesize(select_handle, int)
curl_select_perform(select_handle) // calls select and processes io,
non-blocking
curl_select_cleanup(select_handle)
