19 functionality.

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

75 - add fat, msdos, jffs2, ramfs, ntfs and btrfs to the list of

77 - move orig_CFLAGS assignment to after AC_INIT, as newer autoconf
78 versions ignore it before
