This seems to be the crux of the problem with asyncore, ever since it
was added to the stdlib -- there's no real API, so every change
potentially breaks something. I wish we could start over with a proper
design under a new name. Maybe packages requiring asyncore
functionality should just copy the version of asyncore they like into
their own three and stick with that.
