The Acorn documentation for select() says that the 5th parameter is of type
(struct timeval *) I have grepped through all the h.* files in the Norcroft
C distribution and the TCP/IP programmers suite and timeval is nowhere
defined. The declaration of select simply uses a (void *) type for the 5th
parameter.

So, how are timeout values to be used with the select call which is provided
by the internet module? I really don't fancy disassembling the relevant
functions in the module to find out how they work.
