No. They are separate issues. Cleaning up sys_select can be done without
breaking backwards compatibility with Windows 95 etc, and will fix
outstanding bugs. Getting rid of threads for sub processes does not seem
to bring any benefits to me.

It doesn't. sys_select emulates the standard C library select function
for subprocesses and sockets. The reason for its existence is that with
winsock 1.1, the system select function only handles sockets.
