I'm sort of rethinking that. After a deeper look, the integration 
between NSRunLoop and CFRunLoop should be very tight, with NSRunLoop 
becoming mostly just an ObjC wrapper for CFRunLoop. To minimize the 
amount of code maintained, a merge would be helpful.

And I need functioning CFRunLoop to implement some 
SystemConfiguration.framework functionality :-(
