Subject says it all.  We've known about this problem for ever, but haven't
 got around to doing anything about it.

 Here is a library that provides a unified API over the various event APIs:
 [http://monkey.org/~provos/libevent/].

 See also [http://www.kegel.com/c10k.html].

 1 week is an estimate for doing it properly on all relevant platforms, by
 someone who is familiar with the APIs and code.
