IIRC, the Windows libevent code uses WinSock, and select() or I/O completion 
ports for dealing with events.  A cursory grep through the code confirms no 
references to "Windows.Networking."  Unfortunately, I doubt there would be 
serious interest in this as that group of APIs is completely non-portable.

Subject: [Libevent-users] libevent in Windows App Store app
 

Hi,

Has anyone managed to use libevent in a Windows App Store app? From speaking to 
Microsoft it looks like Windows App Store apps can use a subset of the Win32 
apis. WinSock unfortunately is not in the allowed list of Win32 apis. Apps are 
required to use the new Windows.Networking.Sockets api 
(http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/apps/windows.networking.sockets.aspx) for
 networking.

I'm wondering if there is an effort to get libevent working on the Windows App 
Store?

Thanks.
