[ale] aio calls

Hey all,

	I am interested in doing some asynchronous IO. I'd like to be
portable to Mac, Linux and FreeBSD and I'd like to use the aio calls, but
there are no man pages for them on either the mac or Linux, although the
mac has <sys/aio.h> and Linux has <aio.h> file for inclusion. Anyone use
these? The alternative is to use another thread and a buffer, which I've
done before, but it seems a lot messier than the aio solution.


	thanks,

		bjorn
