Re event library and merge into haskell base: has any thought gone into the "windows" version of the library. Last I looked it was very unix centric - the windows api is very different. I believe it will require major rework to abstract the commonalities and deal efficiently with the differences.
I suspect any talk of a merge is premature.
Windows is already treated specially in the RTS so we can improve the I/O manager for *nix users without affecting Windows users. We're not against adding Windows support to the event library but it's unlikely to happen unless someone volunteers to do it. Cheers, Johan
