select is currently the maximum support possible - io completion ports
lack the features to implement the libev API.
libevent's backend requires you to use a special API on windows, which is why
it can offer that.
note also that i/o completion ports are not used for the event-based part
of libevent 2, mostly for the same reason as they are not used in libev.
