I'm gonna do things differently:

- Drop asio, as I can't handle the watches on the socket fd's themselves
(which means I can't integrate it with the glib main loop afaics now).
- implement the low-level network handling myself,
- on platforms where we have a glib main loop: integrate this with the
mainloop; this will remove the need for threads, and we still don't need
polling
- on platforms without the glib mainloop: do UT_timer based polling;
this also removes the need for threads. It will introduce polling
though, but given the typical win32 platform, it doesn't by far matter
as much as on a platform such as the OLPC.

Comments welcome,
