I don't think this patch is doable given potential incompatibilities
(and I fixed the problem with timer-thread before 2.6 release).

AFAIK there's also a major performance regression on Windows.

I suggest supporting "nonblock: true" keyword:

	IO.pipe(nonblock: true)
	IO.popen(..., nonblock: true)
