Its not possible to notice the change of status of an Event() in
the select call we sleep in. It would be possible in python 3.3 but
for now use a pipe instead. This removes small latency when bitbake
commands finish since the system doesn't sit in the select call.
(Debugging these kind of issues is apparent by setting a long sleep
for the select call)
