Any thoughts on the approach? Too big/too scary/too BSD-specific?

A small bit of self-review: a comment I wrote in the tests suggested
that the choice of readable/writable events was up to the multiplexer
implementation, but it *must* choose readable, due to the hardcoded
use of PGRES_POLLING_READING throughout the current code. Updated in
v2.

Thanks,
