The whole IOCP thing was discussed several times on the mailing list. 
AFAIU the problem is that nobody have yet come with a consistent way of 
mapping IOCP to select-style or even epoll-like polling.

If the idea was clear, the implementation would be more or less trivial.

I haven't been engaged much in the discussion, so I may be wrong here...
