+
+   Libev is modelled (very losely) after libevent and the Event perl
+   module, but is faster, scales better and is more correct, and also more
+   featureful. And also smaller. Yay.
+
+   Some of the specialties of libev not commonly found elsewhere are:
+
+   - extensive and detailed, readable documentation (not doxygen garbage).
+   - fully supports fork, can detect fork in various ways and automatically
+     re-arms kernel mechanisms that do not support fork.
+   - highly optimised select, poll, epoll, kqueue and event ports backends.
+   - filesystem object (path) watching (with optional linux inotify support).
+   - wallclock-based times (using absolute time, cron-like).
+   - relative timers/timeouts (handle time jumps).
+   - fast intra-thread communication between multiple
+     event loops (with optional fast linux eventfd backend).
+   - extremely easy to embed.
+   - very small codebase, no bloated library.
+   - fully extensible by being able to plug into the event loop,
+     integrate other event loops, integrate other event loop users.
+   - very little memory use (small watchers, small event loop data).
+   - optional C++ interface allowing method and function callbacks
+     at no extra memory or runtime overhead.
+   - optional Perl interface with similar characteristics (capable
+     of running Glib/Gtk2 on libev, interfaces with Net::SNMP and
+     libadns).
+   - support for other languages (multiple C++ interfaces, D, Ruby,
+     Python) available from third-parties.
+
+   Examples of programs that embed libev: the EV perl module,
+   rxvt-unicode, gvpe (GNU Virtual Private Ethernet), the Deliantra MMORPG
+   server (http://www.deliantra.net/), Rubinius (a next-generation Ruby
+   VM), the Ebb web server, the Rev event toolkit.
