Hmm, we wrote a medusa-like application around here a while back that could 
store asynchronous events in a select-based event loop, we were basically 
replicating Tcl's after command.  That would be the easiest way to do so.

It buggers up keyboard input mightily on NT, but that's not that big an issue 
in Zope.  Hmmm, I could dig up the code and try it out if anyone wants me to.
