� �- EM::Connection#pending_connect_timeout= setter (defaults to 20s)

An excellent addition. And a much more sane default.

As a note with the devkit and mingw I get:

cmain.cpp: In function 'int evma_send_file_data_to_connection(long
unsigned int, const char*)':
cmain.cpp:752:6: error: cannot convert 'stat*' to '_stati64*' for
argument '2' to 'int _fstati64(int, _stati64*)'
make.exe: *** [cmain.o] Error 1

Thanks!
