I know - I am one of the authors of libuv. However libuv is pretty big and imposes its own asynchronous i/o model onto your application. Later I discovered that it is possible to do efficient epoll emulation on windows so then I wrote wepoll. With it you can just stick to the good ol' epoll/kqueue model and still support windows.
