 This is a completely minimal implementation of a select-based reactor framework
-for event-based asynchronous IO programming. The reactor core supports
-scheduling of tasks (a la Twisted, asio, etc.). This was written after
-witnessing the inefficiency of various other reactor-based implementations - at
-least for the very particular environment that is PlanetLab. It also helped us
-remove the need for a separate thread for the scheduled executor tasks - these
-are run in-line.

 Aside from its simplicity, efficiency, and support for scheduled tasks, it also
-has no dependencies except for Java 6.
