It doesn't really. Luvit borrows heavily from node.js's architecture (reactor callbacks, etc.), links statically against luajit, provides it's own module system and executable. Luv is just a Lua module which binds to libuv. The key difference is that Luv is more like an m-n threading engine combining coroutines and OS threads while using the libuv event loop under the hood.
So other than the fact that they both bind to libuv, they don't have much in common.
