nio4r and the Ruby GIL revisited

What's wrong with ev_set_loop_release_cb? What you describe looks very much
like the THREAD LOCKING EXAMPLE in the libev documentation.

Also, your solution seems to lack proper locking of the loop - unless ruby
somehow guarantees that you need to avoid two threads running the same
event loop. That could be achieved by putting a (recursive) mutex around
the ev_run call.
