OK.

By the way, I just noticed that the poll() version of eloop seemed to
break WPS external registrar functionality (TCP socket used for HTTP;
i.e., something that needs both read and write events). I haven't had a
chance to look at closer details on what was happening, but the HTTP
connections were timing out in my tests. Going back to select() removed
the issue.

Probably not.. I don't have much time or interest to work on this and I
cannot accept a patch to remove the exception case unless it has been
fully tested to work with D-Bus.
