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).
10 - include stdio.h in the example program, as too many people are
11 confused by the weird C language otherwise. I guess the next thing
12 I get told is that the "..." ellipses in the examples don't compile
13 with their C compiler.

5 - further optimise away the EPOLL_CTL_ADD/MOD combo in the epoll 16 - further optimise away the EPOLL_CTL_ADD/MOD combo in the epoll
6 backend by assuming the kernel event mask hasn't changed if 17 backend by assuming the kernel event mask hasn't changed if
7 ADD fails with EEXIST. 18 ADD fails with EEXIST.
8 - work around spurious event notification bugs in epoll by using 19 - work around spurious event notification bugs in epoll by using
9 an 8-bit generation counter. 20 a 32-bit generation counter. recreate kernel state if we receive
21 spurious notifications or unwanted events. this is very costly,
22 but I didn't come up with this horrible design.
