4 - ev_stat watchers will now use inotify as a mere hint on
5 kernels <2.6.25, or if the filesystem is not in the
6 "known to be good" list.
7 - better mingw32 compatibility (it's not as borked as native win32)
8 (analysed by Roger Pack).
9 - include stdio.h in the example program, as too many people are
10 confused by the weird C language otherwise. I guess the next thing
11 I get told is that the "..." ellipses in the examples don't compile
12 with their C compiler.

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