    I wrote a small routing daemon which uses kqueue/kevent to fire a period
    timer on a quantum which in turn calls into a timer list module I wrote,
    which can either use the kevent quantum, or multiplex on a single itimer.

    It's pretty basic and probably not foolproof, but it seems to work well.
