I see. Then maybe it is a Windows problem somehow. Perhaps
Eli can help. He can hopefully confirm that C-h v shows no doc.

We'll get there eventually. When this is all said and done,
what about adding a comment in select.el next to the setq that
initializes the variable, saying that the doc string is defined
in select.c? And maybe saying _why_ it is done there and not
in Lisp? I would think that such a dependence would be pointed
out somewhere. A comment there seems appropriate.
