/**
 * \file alertsock.c
 *
 * \brief Use a socket to alert the main thread from a worker thread.
 *
 * Because our main loop spends all of its time in select, epoll, kqueue, or
 * etc, we need a way to wake up the main loop from another thread.  This code
 * tries to provide the fastest reasonable way to do that, depending on our
 * platform.
