+# SYNOPSIS
+#
+#   AX_HAVE_EPOLL([ACTION-IF-FOUND], [ACTION-IF-NOT-FOUND])
+#   AX_HAVE_EPOLL_PWAIT([ACTION-IF-FOUND], [ACTION-IF-NOT-FOUND])
+#
+# DESCRIPTION
+#
+#   This macro determines whether the system supports the epoll I/O event
+#   interface. A neat usage example would be:
+#
+#     AX_HAVE_EPOLL(
+#       [AX_CONFIG_FEATURE_ENABLE(epoll)],
+#       [AX_CONFIG_FEATURE_DISABLE(epoll)])
+#     AX_CONFIG_FEATURE(
+#       [epoll], [This platform supports epoll(7)],
+#       [HAVE_EPOLL], [This platform supports epoll(7).])
+#
+#   The epoll interface was added to the Linux kernel in version 2.5.45, and
+#   the macro verifies that a kernel newer than this is installed. This
+#   check is somewhat unreliable if <linux/version.h> doesn't match the
+#   running kernel, but it is necessary regardless, because glibc comes with
+#   stubs for the epoll_create(), epoll_wait(), etc. that allow programs to
+#   compile and link even if the kernel is too old; the problem would then
+#   be detected only at runtime.
+#
+#   Linux kernel version 2.6.19 adds the epoll_pwait() call in addition to
+#   epoll_wait(). The availability of that function can be tested with the
+#   second macro. Generally speaking, it is safe to assume that
+#   AX_HAVE_EPOLL would succeed if AX_HAVE_EPOLL_PWAIT has, but not the
+#   other way round.
