Rev is a binding to libev, which is similar to libevent, but faster:

Yes, but the newer version of libevent is going to have IOCP support in
windows so might be better for a mult-platform base event library

libevent bindings would be nice, for just that reason. I also have this
gut feeling that eventmachine isn't as fast as a "finely tuned" event
implementation could be.

I even added a bounty for it:

Enjoy.

It shouldn't be too difficult to take Rev and modify it to use libevent as
the backend instead of libev. They share extremely similar APIs.

Rev already supports Windows... kind of.
