While the rest looks fine, I suspect this one is a show-stopper.

IMO, the ability to wait for separate event sets in separate threads is a  
MUST. In a single-threaded program, it would probably still be useful in a  
number of situations.

Not that it's all that difficult to expand your model to do multiple  
queues.
