Hello,

Is it possible to add in IOLIB several new syscalls? Namely:

1) Syslog staff (part of the POSIX standrd),
2) Sendfile (is not standardized, but still good thing),
3) And aio_* syscalls (is also part of the POSIX).

All of these calls are often used when writing web servers and if someone
wants to write one in CL - they may come in handy :)

I added 1 & 2 to iolib-clean repo on gitorios.org. 3 is more complicated
(especially the representation of structures in Linux).
