Hey thanks, that looks great. (I was hoping it'd be that easy :-/).
I'd still prefer an in-kernel select(2), but if we don't have to copy
the fdsets (I don't see any reason to, do you?), it's not worth
arguing about.


Any thoughts on forking out the body of kevent() to support either a
timespec version, or a FreeBSD/i386-ABI emulation?
