Use of boost Asio

[Ian O'Connell <ia...@maths.tcd.ie>]

Using boost's Asio library now that its no longer beta was discussed
on the previous list , and Mark mentioned himself and David Reiss were
doing alot of libevent stuff at the time. Did development move over to
Asio?  or has anyone since looked at replacing thrift's berkley
sockets and pthread's and libevent code with the comparative boost
equivalents since boost is a requirement already? Are there
dependencies in thrift on posix libraries other than sockets and
pthreads?

Not yet.  We are definitely planning to complete this project with libevent
first in order to allow easy interoperation with some of our non-Thrift
libevent-based code.

clock_gettime, gettimeofday, and strerror_r come to mind.
