The main problem here is that the current code has calls to
event_notifier_get_fd.  These compile under Windows, but they will not
make sense when EventNotifier is ported to Windows because it will not
have a file descriptor.  So I want to remove event_notifier_get_fd from
public code, and reverting the patch is a step backwards.

Ok, noted.
