to use APR on Windows and do minimal changes on the current implementation is
a key factor to bring this up and running.
However, this patch depends on pthreads for windows and as mentioned on the dev
mailing list or within Jira => it seems that this is not compatible with the
apache license.
Is APR feasible for your?
Do you really need thet libevent version?
Most GNU/Linux distro still provide 1.4.x and I would really like to keep
capability to build and use thrift without lot of extra versions of libraries
not within a standard distribution.

> 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
