There is, although it uses a socketpair() instead of a pipe().
Ah, I was grepping "trick". It looks like it's used internally in
the signal style implementations - so how does a multithreaded
app get thread_dispatch to return when it's time to exit?
libevent doesn't have any interthread communication. But you can
layer stuff on top of it - look through the archives for a couple
posts by Andrew Danforth.

I've been thinking that a fancier threading system might perform
better, but I still haven't found the time to write and benchmark
different approaches.
