photon v0.7.0 with Windows support(!)

[Dmitry Olshansky]

Photon is a minimalistic multi-threaded fiber scheduler and event 
loop that works transparently with traditional blocking I/O 
C/C++/D/Rust libraries w/o degrading performance.

It took somewhat longer than I wanted but I'm pleased to announce 
that Photon now supports Windows. In particular basic socket API 
that is used by the likes of std.socket is transparently 
converted to overlapped I/O with I/O completion port event loop. 
The last obstacle was, of course, accept syscall that is only 
blocking on Windows. Now that transparently goes to a dedicated 
Windows's native threadpool so as to not block our precious 
fibers.

Explore some basic examples here (not all examples can be run on 
Windows):
