Do you really need to have both?  I suspect "If you do not have a
usable sys/poll.h, set NO_SYS_POLL_H" may be a simpler alternative,
but there must be a reason why you had to add a new one instead of
going that route.  It would be a good idea to describe that reason
in the log message above, in the space before your Sign-off.

In general, I think this is a good direction to go.  If the existing
emulation in win32/poll.c turns out to be usable across platforms
and not windows specific, sharing it would be a good idea.

But if the emulation is no longer windows specific, shouldn't you
also move it outside compat/win32/ and somewhere more generic?

Hrm, are the Windows folks OK with this?  MINGW and MSVC are
affected; Cygwin should be OK, I think.
