stdin is just a file descriptor and works fine, as long as it is something
where os x doesn't barf (e.g. devices).

It doesn't really solve the problem, as stdin could be a socket, and your
pipe isn't, so programs expecting stdin to be a socket (network servers)
would fail miserably.

libev should already support poll and kqueue on os x just fine, by not using
it by default.
the only sane way known to use kqueue on the horribly broken os x platform
is to use it only for known-to-be-working file types (e.g. sockets), and
embed it into a select loop (for example).

unfortunately, it doesn't really fix anything :(
the solution documented in the libev manual works in all known cases,
however - maybe you should adopt it?
