Summary:                    Dead code - ast_FD_SETSIZE
Description: 
There is a lot of code in main/asterisk.c that depends on
configure_ran_as_root that aims to set a variable (defined in poll.c)
called ast_FD_SETSIZE: In Asterisk 1.6.0 this variable was used in an
inline function in select.h - but it is now gone (ast_select()).

I can't find the ast_FD_SETSIZE being used anywhere else, so it seems like
we have a lot of dead meat hanging around that needs some cleaning up. This
could potentially affect configure, main/asterisk.c main/poll.c and
select.h (an external reference).

Thanks for the fast feedback Tilghman. I'm sorry, but I can not spend any
time on this. I just wanted to report it so that it did not disappear from
memory (mine in this case) and that someone that felt responsible could
clean it up.

I have severe locking issues to spend my time on... Ouch.
