Hi everyone! I am working on a [cross-platform Tor controller/wrapper](https://github.com/DcodingTheWeb/ProxAllium/tree/next-gen), and I encountered a minor inconvenience while writing code for stopping Tor in Windows. Currently the only way to gracefully terminate Tor in Windows is to use the control port to issue the `SIGINT` signal, it would be beneficial for 3rd party programs which work with Tor to be able to invoke this procedure by using the native "control signals" provided to console programs in Windows. I have made a patch which implements this functionality, I will post it soon, I am creating this ticket so that I can create a corresponding file in the `changes` directory :) Thanks to nickm for some pointers about using the libevent `event_active` function to trigger the event, I decided to use the `activate_signal` function as it internally calls the suggested function and simplifies the code. **Trac**: **Username**: TheDcoder
