Stalled?

I don't think so, but definitely missing reviews (specially for patch 2)
and slightly controversial.
I wasn't planning any further changes,
I'd very much like to see a re-roll cf.

and while I have some for the
"related" patchset which enhances the notifications by using a self pipe
was holding them (as well as the related feedback) to allow for this to
mature on its own.
On the rationale on why this is independently useful, note that we are
currently relying in at least 2 "unspecified" behaviours:
1) using signal() means that it is implementation defined if SA_RESTART
will be enabled or not for that signal, and
2) if SA_RESTART is enabled, it is implementation defined if we might get
interrupted in poll().
both are resolved by using sigaction() instead, and it is up to us to
decide if SA_RESTART is enabled or not (which might make patch 4 obsolete
if we decide against).

CC: Johannes Sixt on feedback for SIGCHLD in mingw which uses 17 instead
of 22 (cygwin and others) and therefore seem to cause signal to err
without setting errno as it should.
