Here are some resources which you might consider during the
creation of a new API.
http://www.kegel.com/c10k.html#frameworks
lists some existing event-driven engines, including a C++
implementation by Dan Kegel.
http://libevent.sourceforge.net
The architecture is supposed to handle level/state triggered
event systems. It is still in the design phase, although
working code exists in the undernet ircd server.
http://www.acme.com/software/thttpd/
Thttpd has its own events abstraction, including (recurring)
timers and socket readiness (kqueue, poll, select).
