-* kqueue ([haskell bindings](http://hackage.haskell.org/package/kqueue))
-  is supported by FreeBSD, OSX, and other BSDs.
-
-  From what I can find, kqueue does not provide full directory watching
-  capabilities. To watch a file, you have to have an open file descriptor
-  to the file. This wouldn't scale.
-
-  Gamin does the best it can with just kqueue, supplimented by polling.
-  The source file `server/gam_kqueue.c` makes for interesting reading.
-  Using gamin to do the heavy lifting is one option. 
-  ([haskell bindings](http://hackage.haskell.org/package/hlibfam) for FAM;
-  gamin shares the API)
-
-* hfsevents ([haskell bindings](http://hackage.haskell.org/package/hfsevents))
-  is OSX specific.
-
-  Originally it was only directory level, and you were only told a
-  directory had changed and not which file. Based on the haskell
-  binding's code, from OSX 10.7.0, file level events were added.
-
-  This will be harder for me to develop for, since I don't have access to
-  OSX machines..

 ## todo
 
-- Support OSes other than Linux; it only uses inotify currently.
-  OSX and FreeBSD use the same mechanism, and there is a Haskell interface
-  for it,
 - Run niced and ioniced? Seems to make sense, this is a background job.
 - configurable option to only annex files meeting certian size or
   filename criteria
