Interesting that while Node and other Libuv-based projects use IOCP, Nginx keeps using select(1) calls on Windows: http://nginx.org/en/docs/windows.html
I'd like the author also to evaluate ACE at the URL above. When we needed similar functionality in a project starting in 2004 this is what we used. Very old school C++ and others were disturbed by the liberal use of "delete this;" but it did the trick for cross platform I/O.
