4 - fix another bug where filehandles could leak. 4 - create the aio threads on demand only.
5 - somebody nagged about C89 compatibility, so this release should
6 be C89 compatible, but no guarantees for future ones.
7 - abort when the configure script fails.

14 - properly propagate exceptions from callbacks, instead of silently
15 eating them.
16 - use a different fork algorithm that avoids recursive callback
17 invocations and reduces fork latency in busy processes.
18 - fix a bug where the buffer scalar in aio_read got assigned the wrong
19 length after reading.
20 - fix a bug where the child would process some outstanding requests
21 from the parent.
22 - make a copy of the callback scalar, to avoid some very uncommon
23 (but valid) usages where the callback scalar changes.
24 - the callback was never freed in aio_read/aio_write.
25 - aio_read/aio_write will now set the readonly flag on the data
26 scalar for better error reporting.
