3WISH? monotonic clocks times/GetTickCount for coarse corrections? 3 - actually verify that local and remote port are matching in
4 libev's socketpair emulation, which makes denial-of-service
5 attacks harder (but not impossible - it's windows). Make sure
6 it even works under vista, which thinks that getpeername should
7 return some fantasy port number.

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

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

5 - further optimise away the EPOLL_CTL_ADD/MOD combo in the epoll 42 - further optimise away the EPOLL_CTL_ADD/MOD combo in the epoll
