I choosed __USER_FDSETSIZE to not conflict with the ANSI C namespace.
It's defined in linux/posix_types.h. This file has to conform to the ANSI-C
namespace so I can't add a name without __ in front of it. So someone
has to add a:
#ifdef FD_SETSIZE
#define __USER_SETSIZE FD_SETSIZE
#endif
to the libc sys/types.h (that's where *BSD defines this). Any better ideas?
