A great idea! :) But as I know, some of the methods are a bit complex 
and require well-design on api, e.g., selectImpl() in luni, which was 
written into one method in Harmony native code, but IMHO if removes into 
portlib, it must be separated into two or three methods, and should be 
design carefully. So I suggest more discussion on this. :)
