Hey,
I like the idea and don't want to rain on your parade, but please do an
*extensive* cross-OS check beforehand, I do remember some problems with
this kind of stuff on NetBSD/OpenBSD for example (not in PHP,
elsewhere), and PHP supports a lot of OSs I haven't used in 10 years or
not at all. AFAIK both libevent and libuv have quite a good support, but
just after a quick look into the manual (Do we even have a definitive
list of supported OS there?) - Solaris, Illumos, HP-UX... no clue here.
Greetings,
Florian
