18 - events on files were not always generated properly with the
19 epoll backend (testcase by Assaf Inbal).
20 - mark event pipe fd as cloexec after a fork (analyzed by Sami Farin).
21 - (ecb) support m68k, m88k and sh (patch by Miod Vallat).
22 - use a reasonable fallback for EV_NSIG instead of erroring out
23 when we can't detect the signal set size.
24 - in the absence of autoconf, do not use the clock syscall
25 on glibc >= 2.17 (avoids the syscall AND -lrt on systems
26 doing clock_gettime in userspace).
27 - ensure extern "C" function pointers are used for externally-visible
28 loop callbacks (not watcher callbacks yet).
29 - (ecb) work around memory barriers and volatile apparently both being
30 broken in visual studio 2008 and later (analysed and patch by Nicolas Noble).

31 the kqueue descriptor in the child. 54 the kqueue descriptor in the child.
55 - work around linux inotify not reporting IN_ATTRIB changes for directories
56 in many cases.

40 - work around recent glibc versions that leak memory in realloc. 65 - work around recent glibc versions that leak memory in realloc.
66 - rename ev::embed::set to ev::embed::set_embed to avoid clashing
67 the watcher base set (loop) method.
68 - rewrite the async/signal pipe logic to always keep a valid fd, which
69 simplifies (and hopefully correctifies :) the race checking
70 on fork, at the cost of one extra fd.
71 - add fat, msdos, jffs2, ramfs, ntfs and btrfs to the list of
72 inotify-supporting filesystems.
73 - move orig_CFLAGS assignment to after AC_INIT, as newer autoconf
74 versions ignore it before
75 (https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=908096).
76 - add some untested android support.
77 - enum expressions must be of type int (reported by Juan Pablo L).
