+libev is modelled after libevent (http://monkey.org/~provos/libevent/), but aims
+to be faster and more correct, and also more featureful. Examples:
+
+- multiple watchers can wait for the same event without deregistering others.
+- fork() is supported and can be handled.
+- timers are handled as a priority queue (faster)
+- watchers use less memory (faster)
+- less calls to epoll_ctl (faster)
