Hey,

first of all, I would really like to vote for that feature, too, but I
think there won't by any 3.x release anymore, so this would make it in
4.00 the soonest.

Well, I am developing a piece of software where I get frequently asked
whether it is possible to use the Asio-framework (C++ networking library)
with my code, and I had to hold them back and freeze for the moment
because I did not yet have the time to digg into this.
But if libev officially supports integrating into other event loops (or
vice versa) then I'd highly appreciate it. :-)

Best regards,
Christian Parpart.
