Hi,

On the WaitEventSet thread I posted a small patch to add kqueue
support[1].  Since then I peeked at how some other software[2]
interacts with kqueue and discovered that there are platforms
including NetBSD where kevent.udata is an intptr_t instead of a void
*.  Here's a version which should compile there.  Would any NetBSD
user be interested in testing this?  (An alternative would be to make
configure to test for this with some kind of AC_COMPILE_IFELSE
incantation but the steamroller cast is simpler.)
