## Description

GCutEventLoop encapsulates event loop. For example, event loop is used in GCutProcess. It uses the GLib's default main context for it.

Normally, a custom GCutEventLoop isn't required. It is needed some special case. For example, using libev as event loop backend instead of GLib's main loop.

GCutter provides GCutEventLoop for GLib's main context and main loop, GCutGLibEventLoop.
