18 - prefer noexcept over throw () with C++ 11.

21 - ev.h wasn't valid C++ anymore, which tripped compilers other than
22 clang, msvc or gcc (analyzed by Raphael 'kena' Poss). Unfortunately,
23 C++ doesn't support typedefs for function pointers fully, so the affected
24 declarations have to spell out the types each time.
25 - when not using autoconf, tighten the check for clock_gettime and related
26 functionality.

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

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