 But DOS/djgpp port doesn't run a loop of selects on connect'ed socket (since
 socket is not set non-blocking, no loop is performed on it), so it's
 impossible to control the length of connect timeout but controllling the
 maxiam number of loops allowed.

 Frankly speaking, I did my patch actually to dev15, but I don't think
 anything is changed (in HTTCP.c:HTDoConnect).
