Thank you for the worked-out example.

As you mentioned in your original post, this is for linux.
Unfortunately, I am using windows, and, if I recall correctly,
on windows the select call only lets you use sockets, not
file descriptors.

Also, I'd prefer not to mix in pthreads.  (I do have a working
pthreads-win32 installed, but I've never tried using it together
with Qt.)

std::cout << "Hello back at you, Sergey!";
