I want to use libcurl with libevent. After reading the
curl_multi_socket_action manual page, it seems that the event dispatcher
and handling of an event wants to happen in a single thread. I want to
separate these two concepts. That is, I want the event dispatcher to
notice when an fd has work to do but I want libcurl to handle the event
with a thread I hand it.

Here is the pseudo code for my start up program:

Check number of cores

Spawn 2 time the numbers of cores and put on "available threads" queue

Spawn a thread to send data (this will send out requests)

Main thread: In libevent, handle events. When an fd has work to do, pull
a thread off the "available threads" queue and use it to handle the
work. When the work is done, put back on the "available threads" queue.

Can libcurl do this? I want to keep ALL more cores busy, not just one.
