[sldev] Eventlet under windows?

[Donovan Linden]

Now that I look at it closely, it appears the fcntl module is only  
used to set file descriptors non-blocking, which I think only happens  
in the case of unix pipes (not available on windows) and maybe stdin  
and stdout.

Probably the right thing to do is at the top of the module:

try:
	import fcntl
	HAS_FCNTL = True
except ImportError:
	HAS_FCNTL = False

And then at the bottom where it uses it, emit a warning (try the  
warnings module) if HAS_FCNTL is False. Then if anybody ever sees the  
warning, we can see what was being attempted and figure out how to  
implement it under windows.

Thanks! :-)
