Since in the CVSHEAD only router(8) uses zmpoll, I tried porting
zmpoll to scheduler(8) also.  As far as I can tell, the code is running
quite well in my environment (I'm running with about ~5000 acrtive
transport agents), but this may be beginner's luck.

Mailq-related parts of the transport.c still use select(2) which I guess
is BAD, but scheduler seems to be working nonetheless.  I am unsure
if I did notifysocket and qquerysocket the right way.  And since it
is always good to release early, release often I hereby await your
consuell and support.
