13TODO: realpath 13 - fix stat structure usage on windows, which caused bogus stat results.
14 - (libeio) make readahead emulation behave more like actual readahead by never failing.
15 - new request aio_seek.
16 - new request aio_fiemap.
17 - autogenerate the #ifdef/#define 0 blocks for symbols we export.

20 - realpath would return a random value if the name was too long,
21 instead of -1.
22 - port to c89.

25 - libeio didn't compile on !linux (Paul Howarth).

28 - IO::AIO did access uninitialised memory on unsuccessful stats.
29 - (libeio) added syncfs syscall wrapper.
30 - (libeio) set thread name on linux (ps -L/Hcx, top, gdb).
31 - (libeio) support multiple indepenent working directories.
32 - applied speling corrections by Nicholas Bamber.
33 - tune treescan #threads and #outstanding requests a bit.
34 - reduce the number of file descriptors in use at any one time
35 in treescan, to avoid running out of them (and using too much ram).
36 - take advantage of working directoriy abstractions
37 in aio_scandir and treescan.
38 - reduce compiled size by ~10% by not inlining some key functionality.
39 - added --progress switch to treescan.

414.0 Mon Jul 18 05:01:10 CEST 2011
42 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: fork is no longer supported (indeed, it never was),
43 see FORK BEHAVIOUR in manpage for details.
44 - passes testsuite on win32 now and may actually work
45 (activestate 5.10.1 / MSVC6, YMMV).
46 - (libeio) fix a deadlock where a wakeup signal could be missed when
47 a timeout occured at the same time.
48 - (libeio) added realpath.
49 - (libeio) added fallocate.
50 - (libeio) disabling sendfile on darwin unfortunately broke the emulation.
51 - (libeio) do not acquire any locks when forking.
52 - (libeio) use fewer time() syscalls when waiting for new requests.

71 - document the fact that fork doesn't work anymore when using
72 this module, on anything !GNU/Linux.
73 - increase timeout in t/04_fork.t, as too many CPAN-tester setups
74 run on a 0.1MHz cpu. Or so.
