If it's just not working at all, the easiest thing is probably to
comment out registration of the transport and the
smart-transport-specific tests.

If it's not going to work on Windows then we should either fix it before
0.12 rc, or make it cleanly disabled.

(Python's manual doesn't say that MSG_WAITALL is available at all.)

I think in this case we need to rewrite it to loop until we have three
bytes; MSG_WAITALL is not necessarily reliable even on Linux.
