Matthew Flatt 5cbe6cfdcb work around bug(?) in Mac OS X select()
Using select() to check whether a pipe is ready for writing seems to
fail on Mac OS X 10.8 and 10.9. See the PR for a small C program to
demonstrate. It's possible that the small program is broken and
there's no bug, but the program works on Linux and on Mac OS X 10.7
and 10.6.

Although poll() seems to work, switching completely to poll() is not a
good option on Mac OS X, since poll() does not support devices on that
platform.

The kqueue() facility seems to handle pipes and writing ok, so work
around the bug by enabling the use of kqueue() on pipes.
