I haven't looked into fsevents (seems to be rather high overhead, but
possibly good enough to implement ev_stat), but I don't think I will ever
try to support anything os-x specific. They can't even implement basic
unix functions anywhere correctly, and from my experience, their custom
stuff is even more broken. Not that apple cares, and not that I would care
for apple, in the sense thta I will try to keep libev working within the
limits of the platform (just as with windows).
