 EXAMPLES
 
-    For a real-world example of a program the includes libev verbatim, you
-    can have a look at the EV perl module (http://software.schmorp.de/pkg/EV.html).
-    It has the libev files in the liev/ subdirectory and includes them in the
-    EV.xs files. Only this file will be compiled.
