joyent/libuv — Issue #265: Foreign file descriptors

I have some libraries that I'd like to use in conjunction with libuv that expose their file descriptors for integration into a foreign event loop (in this case, I'd like that to be libuv).

libev seems to support this, so I suspect that it is a matter of adding a new handle type with readable / writable callbacks?

Examples of publicly available libraries that do this include libpq's asynchronous support and ZeroMQ.
