The LWN gives the impression 0MQ is a cross-platform IOCP implementation,
however no such terminology is picked up in the website or article.  As
Google and the Tor developers are pushing libevent 2.0 to do IOCP can you
provide some clarify on where 0MQ compares to Windows IOCP and libevent 2?
 Particularly I'm seeing that libevent is going to be an Internet facing API
and you point in the article that 0MQ should not be.
