Hi Sebastien,

as a side note, you may wish to use the kqueue(2) framework to watch
at link stat changes.  The main advantage is that it will change the
way it works from a polling model to a notification model.  One major
drawback in your situation (portable software) is that kqueue(2) only
exists in BSD world, not in Linux.

Best regards,
