I can't quite agree, from my findings.

I don't really test much on vista, the tcp stack seems to be near to

I use these three environments:

- msvc6
- activestate perl
- cygwin

Normally on windows 2000. I did verify that libev works on windows xp,
vista, and windows 7 with the event pipe, at least at one time (binaries
compiled on w2k though).
