dunno where you should start, but whatever you do, please don't make it
specific to IPC::Run. a portable event system would be the best
route. if you can use the PerlIO system and make it have an event
interface like Event.pm then it would be general purpose and portable
across winX and more normal platforms. having a single event api across
the board is very much needed. perl6 is definitely working on that
issue.
