Description

Right now we have to use libevent to compile Mesos on Windows because libev does not have a clean standalone build available on Windows. (We also use a beta version of libevent because it's easier to compile.)

But, this changes the behavior of libprocess significantly. So, we need to think about transitioning to libev after MVP.
