As to whether select() takes a const or non-const timeval* argument:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms740141%28VS.85%29.aspx
msdn says it's const, so that's what include/w32api must do
http://www.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/007908799/xsh/select.html
posix says it isn't const, so that's what /usr/include must do
So you can't combine them. See also:
