Damn! That was what I wanted in the first place but you didn't liked the
init stuff! :S

I guess we're having comunication problems, I done, undone and redone
everything twice or more :S

I prefered the variable (the complete one, with all the methods) too, but
you complained about it. If you want to have the variable, I'd like to
provide it as a full loop object as in here[1], so all methods can be
called (I can move init() and destroy() as free functions called
default_init() and default_destroy() if you want).

Doing your anonymous struct trick is the same to provide just a ev_loop
pointer.

Sometimes you got to suffer a little in your youth to motivate you to
succeed later in life. Do you think if Bill Gates got laid in high
school, do you think there'd be a Microsoft? Of course not. You gotta
spend a lot of time stuffin your own locker with your underwear wedged
up your arse before you think "I'm gona take over the world with
computers! You'll see I'll show them."
