18 - prefer noexcept over throw () with C++ 11.
19 - update ecb.h due to incompatibilities with c11.

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

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

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