Thanks, you gave me hope!

Well, avoiding the ;-) - people do, and its remarkably foolish of them.  Its
a long-standing whinge that many people with a UNIX-background seem to
just assume that Windows sucks, but you could run 40,000 sockets from a
single Win32 process for a while and some well-known UNIX systems would
still struggle to do this, libevent or no.  Admitedly, the way a Win32
app is architected would be rather different from a typical POSIX one.

Windows has been a cheap target bt its remarkably adequate and the
TPC results speak for themselves.
