Re: kqueue based file event notification and the backend

I wasn't sure if hacking the existing kqueue backend alone would do the trick. I imagine that for consistency, you'd also want something like

Stdio.File()->set_event_callback(cb, FLAGS);

right? If so, then, what about the other event types you can use kqueue to follow, like signals and process events?

Messing around with the backend is a little more advanced than I've undertaken in the past, but I'd be willing to play around with it in my spare time, if I had a good idea of what it out to look like.

Have you looked closer at backend.cmod? There is already a backend variant using kqueue...
