[iolib-devel] Passing FDs over UNIX sockets

I've recently added a few new functions to net.sockets:
MAKE-SOCKET-FROM-FD, MAKE-SOCKET-PAIR and the pair
SEND-FILE-DESCRIPTOR/RECEIVE-FILE-DESCRIPTOR for passing FDs over UNIX
sockets. I've done a few tests and while OSX can pass FDs either over
stream sockets or datagram sockets, on Linux only datagram sockets seem
to work.
