17 - prefer noexcept over throw () with C++ 11.
18 - update ecb.h due to incompatibilities with c11.
19 - fix a potential aliasing issue when reading and writing
20 watcher callbacks.

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

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

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