3WISH? monotonic clocks times/GetTickCount for coarse corrections? 3 - fix a bug where an inotify watcher was added twice, causing
4 freezes on hash collisions (reported and analysed by Graham Leggett).
5 - new config symbol, EV_USE_CLOCK_SYSCALL, to make libev use
6 a direct syscall - slower, but no dependency on librt et al.
7 - assume negative return values != -1 signals success of port_getn
8 (http://cvs.epicsol.org/cgi/viewcvs.cgi/epic5/source/newio.c?rev=1.52)
9 (no known failure reports, but it doesn't hurt).
10 - fork detection in ev_embed now stops and restarts the watcher
11 automatically.
12 - EXPERIMENTAL: default the method to operator () in ev++.h,
13 to make it nicer to use functors (requested by Benedek László).
14 - fixed const object callbacks in ev++.h.
15 - replaced loop_ref argument of watcher.set (loop) by a direct
16 ev_loop * in ev++.h, to avoid clashes with functor patch.
17 - do not try to watch the empty string via inotify.
18 - inotify watchers could be leaked under certain circumstances.
19 - OS X 10.5 is actually even more broken than earlier versions,
20 so fall back to select on that piece of garbage.
21 - fixed some weirdness in the ev_embed documentation.

5TODO: "ev_stat on nfs" 233.49 Wed Nov 19 11:26:53 CET 2008
24 - ev_stat watchers will now use inotify as a mere hint on
25 kernels <2.6.25, or if the filesystem is not in the
26 "known to be good" list.
27 - better mingw32 compatibility (it's not as borked as native win32)
28 (analysed by Roger Pack).
29 - include stdio.h in the example program, as too many people are
30 confused by the weird C language otherwise. I guess the next thing
31 I get told is that the "..." ellipses in the examples don't compile
32 with their C compiler.

8 backend by assuming the kernel event mask hasn't changed if 36 backend by assuming the kernel event mask hasn't changed if
