[Mono-list] handling io to a descriptor in *nix

[Michael J. Ryan]

There is no method for interfacing to a socket via a descriptor in
the managed space...  IE, the socket connection is already made, and
my program is called with the socket descriptor on the command line, passing 
the use of the socket to another program.
