Good!

Last year, I tried to implement std.event. In Windows, using IOCP with  
Overlapped-IO for proactor.
Others, IO multiplexing with worker-thread for proactor emulation.
But Johannes already started implementing event module using libev,
so I deleted this task from my tasks.

My pending projects need event module. I expect your efforts!

P.S.
cURL wrapper is nice. I wait this :)
