Timeouts are unfortunately required to have working concurrent socket
based and console interfaces on Windows. If there were a clean solution
I'd gladly use it. There isn't. Now if people don't care that the lua
command line interface doesn't work on Windows I can just revert this
commit ... but please stop bitching about the fact that it doesn't work
on windows (that wasn't aimed at you Rémi).

Just to be clear:
Socket only mode or unix with console of course does not use any timeout.
