   I needed something similar myself a few years ago, and I think I
concluded that libevent couldn't handle per-thread granularity for signals.

   Source of relevant module:
https://github.com/libevent/libevent/blob/master/signal.c

   (The warning message in evsig_add() seems relevant).

   In my case I wanted to use signals as, well, a signalling mechanism
(tell threads to update their configuration, terminate the event loop,
etc).  It was a long time ago, and I can't remember exactly how I solved
it, but I recall experimenting with pipes.  If what you need is IPC to
control the event loops in the tread, check out pipes.
