looks great to me. i'd never use the addListener function though, i find it too weird to have a single handleEvent function that fixes on a specific event type.

the three things i still have in mind about it are:
 * is it possible to "bind" this to other languages, eg, generate events from C? i guess it is, after all one just has to produce an object that fits the signature of the event type...
 * would maybe a different naming scheme (calling the former EventSite "Slot", and the events "Signal"s?) make it a bit clearer? I first thought that this would be good, but now i'm actually fine with "Dispatcher" (for the EventSite), i think :)
 * removing events still requires me to store a listener reference-- what do you think about not using the automatic delegation creation, but instead, in the Listener object store target object and method- so i could then removeListeners(myTargetObject)?

These are just ideas though-- i'm happy to go along with the proposal as it is. And thanks for helping out!
