	; epoll_child.inc: often times, it is useful, especially in tui_terminal environments, to have
	; a blocking fork'd child process, but bound on the parent side to an epoll object
	; 
	; NOTE: if you use epoll_child, take care to call epoll_child_killall before you exit, or you'll have
	; ophans kicking around (if that is not the desired effect, heh)
