Make epoll() a run-time choice?

Hi all,
I've just packaged squid-2.6.STABLE1 and squid-3.0.PRE4 for debian,
enabling epoll() support at build time.

This obviously makes squid fail with kernels older than 2.6.x which
are still supported by debian.

During discussions on the debian-devel mailing list, it was proposed
to enable a fallback if epoll() is not available at startup,
switching to the old poll() behaviour.

I admit I don't have the skill to do that. Is this possible in the
comm framework?

Regards,
