kgio provides non-blocking I/O methods for Ruby without raising  
exceptions on EAGAIN and EINPROGRESS. It is intended for use with the  
Unicorn and Rainbows! Rack servers, but may be used by other  
applications (that run on Unix-like platforms).

Changes:

minor feature update and cleanups

We now export SOCK\_NONBLOCK, SOCK\_CLOEXEC constants in the Kgio  
namespace to make kgio\_tryaccept/kgio\_accept easier-to-use.  
There are also some minor internal cleanups.
