Windows Compilation problem

[Horacio Sanson]

Ok I think I solved my problem but want to make sure it is the correct
way to do this.

I keep all my code the same except for the calls to ev_io_set().
Instead of passing the socket descriptor as returned by socket() or
WSASocket() I convert if first to handle and then pass the handle to
ev_io_set...  the relevant code looks like:

ev_io_set (&client->read_watcher, _open_osfhandle(client->socketfd,
0), EV_READ | EV_ERROR);

This works as my client now connects and transmits data to the server
(Linux) but is a little ugly.

better ways to do this are appreciated...
