Hi,
I would like to embed libuv in another runloop. This would be easier if 
uv_run supported a blocking mode (e.g. UV_RUN_NONE) that is otherwise a 
noop. Basically I would like to be able to block until the next event but 
don't acually do anything with the event (e.g. don't run any callbacks). 
Then libuv can be embedded like:

In Main Event Loop:
  If got signal from bg thread {
    uv_run(loop, UV_RUN_NOWAIT);
    signal bg thread to continue
  }

In BG thread:
  while (uv_run(loop, UV_RUN_NONE) != 0) {
    send signal to main event loop thread
    wait for signal from main loop thread
  }

Would something like this work? Is it feasible to implement something like 
this for all platforms supported by libuv? Then uv_backend_fd() could be 
avoided which isn't cross platform anyway.

Thanks,
