TODO: document fork watchers

        - expose fork watchers.
        - switch to libev's MULTIPLICITY API.
        - use a slightly different include file name strategy.
        - get rid of (unused) libevent emulation.
        - 5% watcher management speedup due to callback optimisation
          when inline closures are used, 5% slowdown due to multiplicity.
        - very minimal support for dynamic event loops and embed watchers.
        - (libev) fix embed watchers.
        - (libev) renamed ev_embed.loop to other.
        - (libev) added exported Symbol tables.
        - (libev) undefine member wrapper macros at the end of ev.c.
        - (libev) respect EV_H in ev++.h.

        - (libev) fix memleak on loop destroy (not relevant for perl).
        - add periodic->at methods.

1.85 Fri Dec 14 20:32:40 CET 2007
        - further optimise epoll backend by adding a heuristic that
          avoids EPOLL_CTL_DEL calls if possible.
        - EV::signal->start was not async-signal safe.
        - (libev) fix some aliasing issues w.r.t. timers and periodics
          (not relevant for perl).
        - optimise start/stop when the fd hasn't changed.

1.8  Tue Dec 11 22:17:46 CET 2007
        - API version 3:0.
        - reduced fudge factor to zero for select, poll, epoll
          and kqueue: your system better be posix-compliant
          even in its extensions :->
        - improve long-term numerical stability in periodic watchers
          by introducing a separate offset value instead of reusing at.
        - recalculate real/monotonic clocks before blocking fully
          to avoid blocking for longer than necessary.
        - fix bugs in the heap functions. this rarely lead to illegal
          heap orderings.

1.72 Sat Dec  8 15:31:26 CET 2007
        - add dummy loop arguments to some EVAPI functions

        - stopping idle/check/prepare watchers could cause data corruption.
        - implement and document EV::once.
        - improved documentation, verify that netbsd indeed has the only
          working kqueue implementation (out of darwin, freebsd, netbsd and
          openbsd). Praise them!
        - fix the data method so it might work.
        - expose ev_ref/ev_unref to the C API.
        - expose ref/unref in form of the ->keepalive method to perl.
        - minor bugfixes and portability fixes.

1.2  Thu Nov 22 05:44:09 CET 2007
        - disable kqueue by default on !netbsd, as its broken on freebsd,
          darwin and openbsd and thus almost everywhere.
        - add some allowance in t/01_timer.t for the uneven monotonic
          vs. realtime clock tick on at least freebsd.
