What a mess!  I sure do seem to be attracted to bundled library issues, like
insects are attracted to shiny lights.  :-(

I might add that this Perl module also shares the same author as libeio itself.

Upstream has never released tarballs that I'm aware of.  The libeio package
generates tarballs from release tags in CVS.  There actually seems to be a 4.19
tag in CVS now, though IO::AIO is still on 4.18.

Sorry I never noticed the libecb bundling.  I could push a patch to fix it right
now, but I have absolutely no way of testing it since nothing uses libeio and
it doesn't have a test suite.  :-(
