AIO completion signal has been added to the -mm tree, but support in glibc is
not ready. Ulrich Drepper should work on this, but I think Sébastien already did
this work.

So, libposix-aio should be considered only as experimental until its integration
in glibc.

Sébastien Dugué is the maintainer and main contributor of libposix-aio, he could
correct me if I'm wrong.
