This is a very good idea! There was also a discussion about crypt() recently, which is also too trivial to be packaged by itself. Beware that eventfd is Linux-specific. The hypothetic project should somehow cope with non-Linux platforms. And I also have some bindings to ioctl() that manipulate serial ports parameters buried in one of my other projects that should be elsewhere, but are not significant enough (IMHO) to make a separate project [1].
