Demonstrates Socket.SelectForWriting, which waits for the socket, or sockets in a socket set, to become writable. It returns 1 if writable, 0 on timeout, or -1 on error.

#  Wait up to 5 seconds for the socket (or sockets in a socket set) to become writable.  Returns 1 if
#  writable, 0 on timeout, or -1 on error.
