And just before anybody reads this mail out of context - pthread_yield
will *not* give other threads opportunity to run in general, anywhere, and
on some systems (e.g. GNU/Linux) will temporarily give your thread lowest
priority in the system. You really do not want to implement this hack.

libev doesn't do that because it is horribly inefficient and broken by
design - libev shouldn't enforce an inefficient model, but allow users to
implement efficient ones themselves.
