I would say that the most sensible thing for a library to do is to provide
callbacks for what file descriptors to wait for (ADD, REMOVE, MODIFY)
activities on, and what those activities are. And a separate one that sets a
timeout timer if necessary.

That should be possible to make work with any event library or select() /
poll() or whatever out there.

Not completely out of coincidense, that's the API libcurl provides for doing
event-based operations...
