Description

As part of an effort to use the Non-Blocking server (using libevent) on Windows, it was necessary to remove the use of "pipe" for the notification mechanism to signal end-of-task. We propose to use evutil_socketpair instead (tested with libevent 2.0.12). Patch included. Please see https://github.com/aubonbeurre/thrift/blob/alex-0.6.1/README.non.blocking.Windows for more details.
