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.

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