Hi,

   mldonkey is a OCAML/GTK client for a number of peer-to-peer networks  
including edonkey, overnet and kademlia.

   I just wrote a patch against ports/net/mldonkey-devel version 2.6.0  
to support kqueue(2) FreeBSD kernel event notification mechanism. It is  
meant to replace select/poll inside mldonkey.

   kqueue scales better than select/poll not to mention that it should  
be faster.

   I am having a little bit of trouble with this patch. mldonkey loads  
and I am able to connect to the daemon through both the web interface  
and kmldonkey. However, I am unable to connect to servers.

   I am pretty sure I am assuming something wrong about the interaction
of the ml_fd_* C functions and mldonkey ocaml code. Are there any  
takers to help me on this one? It should really improve performance  
under FreeBSD and possibly other *BSD platforms.

   Regards,
     MSFF
