Danga::Socket 1.62 was released a few months back and
the maintainer indicated it would be the last release.
We've diverged significantly in incompatible ways...

While most of this should've already been documented in
commit messages, putting it all into one document could
make it easier-to-digest.

It's also a strange design for anybody used to conventional
event loops.  Maybe this is an unconventional project :P
