6 - create the aio threads on demand only.
7 - somebody nagged about C89 compatibility, so this release should
8 be C89 compatible, but no guarantees for future ones.
9 - abort when the configure script fails.

12 - forget to recreate the pipe after forking, this could cause
13 deadlocks.

151.3 Wed Aug 17 07:25:54 CEST 2005
16 - properly propagate exceptions from callbacks, instead of silently
17 eating them.
18 - use a different fork algorithm that avoids recursive callback
19 invocations and reduces fork latency in busy processes.
20 - fix a bug where the buffer scalar in aio_read got assigned the wrong
21 length after reading.
22 - fix a bug where the child would process some outstanding requests
23 from the parent.
24 - make a copy of the callback scalar, to avoid some very uncommon
25 (but valid) usages where the callback scalar changes.
26 - the callback was never freed in aio_read/aio_write.
27 - aio_read/aio_write will now set the readonly flag on the data
28 scalar for better error reporting.

31 - verified on cygwin, linux/amd64+ia32+alpha, solaris.
32 - use SvPVbyte for filenames now. You *need* to encode your strings to
33 the external filename encoding first.
34 - fix the bug where filehandles could leak (again).
35 - clarify freebsd situation: make it work and tell me how, or go away
36 with your underdocumented, broken and outdated OS.
37 - fork'ing should now be officially supported (where linux and
38 posix contradict each other, I followed posix).
39 - only call read() once per poll, not twice (speedup).
40 - new functions: aio_rmdir, aio_symlink.
41 - force callback arguments to be undef or a reference, for better
42 error catching.

4 - added configure script to detect availability of some calls. 45 - added configure script to detect availability of some calls.

6 feedback yet). 47 feedback yet).
