Hi Alejandro & Marc,
this is exactly the use case I had when I asked the list and likely
Alejandro referred to Marcs answer to my question.
So I'm afraid this is really something we need [Q]:
How would I turn a file descriptor, as exported from some library
and ready/intented to be used with poll(2)/select(2) into a port?
Thanks sooo much.

Background:
Since when I'm using this ##open-predefined and have on my list to ask
why this seems not to integrate into gambit's threading as good as I
had hoped for.
Nevertheless Marcs suggestion to use open-tcp-server does not work for
me. I really need a unix domain socket. Actually an abstract socket
on Linux. No way around. :-/
But I'd like it to block the calling thread on input. Which did not
work out for me. (There is lambdanative and Android in the mix too, but
my current _guess_ is that neither is to blame here.)
Which leaves me with the question above.
