  fixed dependencies for parallel build in mod_ssi_expr.c
  
- combo patch

  * Tinker with kqueue().  Add a reset method so that the kqueue file
    descriptor can be re-enabled after a fork().  Emulate the devpoll driver
    in that adds and deletes are sent to the notification mechanism im-
    mediately, which should cut down on phantom events.  Use
    ev->kq_results as a sliding window.
  
  * Change F_SETFD calls to use the preferred FD_CLOEXEC instead of 1.
  
  * Remove unnecessary fdevent fcntl handlers.  It appears that the only
    driver that needs one is Linux RT signals.
    
  * Quiet compiler warning about unused parameter.
    
  * Set the close-on-exec flag for the /dev/poll and epoll_create() file
    descriptors.
      
  * Return failure if /dev/poll could not be opened instead of logging
    and continuing.
	
  * Detect EAGAIN after writev() failures.  FreeBSD sendfile() doesn't need
    protection, as the man page says:
	  
     When using a socket marked for non-blocking I/O, sendfile() may send
     fewer bytes than requested.  In this case, the number of bytes success-
     fully written is returned in *sbytes (if specified), and the error
     EAGAIN is returned.

  dropped fdevent_fcntl added by the last patch (adam)
  kqueue: events == FDEVENT_IN -> events & FDEVENT_IN (adam)

31.07.2004 22:07 - 1.2.4
- fdevents

  * Test at configure time for kqueue() and <sys/event.h>
  * Remove various hard-coded constants from event handlers
  * Move maxfds into the event structure, and out of the
    fdevent_*_init handlers.  Event handlers can use the maxfds
    member to size arrays.
  * Various event structure renames to discourage clashes
  * Remove extra (ignored) call to fdevent_event_next_fdndx() in
