4WISH? monotonic clocks times/GetTickCount for coarse corrections? 5 - ev_stat watchers will now use inotify as a mere hint on
6 kernels <2.6.25, or if the filesystem is not in the
7 "known to be good" list.
8 - better mingw32 compatibility (it's not as borked as native win32)
9 (analysed by Roger Pack).

12 - further optimise away the EPOLL_CTL_ADD/MOD combo in the epoll
13 backend by assuming the kernel event mask hasn't changed if
14 ADD fails with EEXIST.
15 - work around spurious event notification bugs in epoll by using
16 a 32-bit generation counter. recreate kernel state if we receive
17 spurious notifications or unwanted events. this is very costly,
18 but I didn't come up with this horrible design.
19 - use memset to initialise most arrays now and do away with the
20 init functions.
21 - expand time-out strategies into a "Be smart about timeouts" section.
22 - drop the "struct" from all ev_watcher declarations in the
23 documentation and did other clarifications (yeah, it was a mistake
24 to have a struct AND a function called ev_loop).
25 - fix a bug where ev_default would not initialise the default
26 loop again after it was destroyed with ev_default_destroy.
27 - rename syserr to ev_syserr to avoid name clashes when embedding,
28 do similar changes for event.c.

31 - disable inotify usage on linux <2.6.25, as it is broken
32 (reported by Yoann Vandoorselaere).
33 - ev_stat errornously would try to add inotify watchers
34 even when inotify wasn't available (this should only
35 have a performance impact).
5 - ev_once now passes both timeout and io to the callback if both 36 - ev_once now passes both timeout and io to the callback if both
6 occur concurrently, instead of giving timeouts precedence. 37 occur concurrently, instead of giving timeouts precedence.
7 - disable EV_USE_INOTIFY when sys/inotify.h is too old. 38 - disable EV_USE_INOTIFY when sys/inotify.h is too old.
