It can be detected by the compiler. Since epoll() is linux-specific, no other
system will have it. Both poll() and select() are in Posix.1-2001, but select()
is also in the System V spec, so that would be the safest fallthrough.
However, epoll() already shouldn't be used on solaris, due to the ifdef thingie
at the top of lib/iobroker.c, so perhaps it's just the poll() variant of the
i/o broker that's borked.

These should come from lib/snprintf.h. It seems I've just left it more or
less incomplete.

Yup.

I'll replace it with
typedef struct nagios_comment {
....
} nagios_comment;
#define comment nagios_comment
and do the same for all other types we define in Nagios, while
recommending that people use the "nagios_*" form of the name, as
that's pretty much guaranteed to be "ours" for eternity.

Considering the successes of the wars on alcohol, poverty, drugs and
terror, I think we should give some serious thought to declaring war
on peace.
