Indeed, and I very much love epoll for that, but for that to work between a library and an application (with the library putting things into the epoll fd, and the application being the one calling epoll_wait()), they pretty much have to use the same tiny bit of wrapping.

After that, it can totally be done, but if you make your library for, say, libevent, and someone tries using it in a Qt program, it's a pain.
