  Description     : asynchronous event notification library

 Libuv is the asynchronous library behind Node.js. Very similar to libevent or
libev,
 it provides the main elements for event driven systems: watching and waiting
 for availability in a set of sockets, and some other events like timers or
 asynchronous messages. However, libuv also comes with some other extras like:
 * files watchers and asynchronous operations
 * a portable TCP and UDP API, as well as asynchronous DNS resolution
 * processes and threads management, and a portable inter-process
   communications mechanism, with pipes and work queues
 * a plugins mechanism for loading libraries dynamically
 * interface with external libraries that also need to access the I/O

This is going to be maintained within the javascript team.
