Just to reply to myself once again,

System.Event (which isn't hidden) re-exports (un)registerFd and other functions I need for this. So I can implement all this myself. The only thing I can't do is ask the RTS's eventmanager to watch the fds for me, but I can just create my own ("new" constructor is exposed as well) to keep all fd-watching in 1 thread.

So it seems just enough functionality is exposed to do what I'm after. Those GHC devs must be clever guys :)

Bryan and I intend the System.Event API to become more official in the future. It's not quite portable to other implementations yet so you should consider it to be GHC specific (like GHC.Conc) for now. Johan
