I was talking about watching a directory for changes. Using libevent on BSD, I 
can get notified, when a directory is accessed or modified. I can not do the 
same with libev, evidently, which makes it worse (in this particular regard) 
than libevent.

Well, "trolling" was what Tony engaged in, when he posted the above-quoted line 
-- preceded with the even more obnoxious "cool story". If you tolerated that, 
you shouldn't really be criticizing my manners either.

That said, having encountered developers, who seriously believe, a compiler 
warning is the compiler's own problem -- to be remedied by removing -Werror -- 
nothing else can surprise me this week.

Lastly, it seems, libfam (FAM or Gamin, rather) does exactly what I need -- 
cross platform -- so I will stop bothering you now. Have a good weekend.
