4 - no longer include $Config{libs}, as distros include too much
5 garbage in there that is not installed on typical systems
6 (for example, debian links perl against -lgdbm and many more
7 libraries despite perl not needing it, slowing down startup and
8 wasting memory).

11 - added aio_readdir, aio_scandir.
12 - added aio_sendfile, including sendfile emulation when sendfile
13 isn't available. Linux, FreeBSD and HP-UX might work (sendfilev
14 support is unavailable on my solaris 8 machine, but preliminary
15 code is there. What's lacking is configury stuff and testing...).

18 - create the aio threads on demand only (good after forking).
19 - somebody nagged about C89 compatibility, so this release should
20 be C89 compatible, but no guarantees for future ones.
21 - abort when the configure script fails.

24 - forget to recreate the pipe after forking, this could cause
25 deadlocks.

6 - forking while in an atfork handler is now supported, although 30 - use a different fork algorithm that avoids recursive callback

9 for yourself by clearing the request queue first. 33 length after reading.
34 - fix a bug where the child would process some outstanding requests
35 from the parent.
36 - make a copy of the callback scalar, to avoid some very uncommon
37 (but valid) usages where the callback scalar changes.
38 - the callback was never freed in aio_read/aio_write.
39 - aio_read/aio_write will now set the readonly flag on the data
40 scalar for better error reporting.
