The thread-based delivery mechanism is inconvenient for most toolkits. The fd would ideally be the mir socket itself, but it could also be an eventfd that gets signalled from another thread. In the name of efficiency we should try to cut out the extra threads entirely, though. The dispatch function would dispatch events to the registered delegate, directly from the thread in which it was called. Alternatively (or perhaps additionally), we could also use a function to manually dequeue events.
