Maybe having a look at libuv[1] from the Joyent folks would be a better option for those poor folks running PHP on Windows, as it is a wrapper for libev on nixes and IOCP on Windows.

The only issue is that there's currently no php bindings (that i know of) for it.

It is somewhere on my infinite todo list to look into that. Shouldn't be too hard to write a PHP ext for it. But libuv does a few other things too afaik. It embeds c-ares for one.

hope this helpful.

This is great news! Finally a cross-platform alternative to the eio extension. Will be especially awesome for #35.

Thanks! ;-)
