Red DB::Pg is Linux only due to reliance on epoll?

DB::Pg relies on epoll which isn't available on macOS/BSD and I assume Windows etc. The further dependence on LibUUID is also Linux specific unless you go to the extra effort of installing it. DBIish however works just fine, is there any way to have this be an optional dependence with some checking for either back end?

I'm wondering whether the uv_io_t abstraction in libuv (which is already loaded by MoarVM,) can provide a more cross-platform solution to this, of course it doesn't solve it for people who don't use MoarVM.....

Is anyone having problem to install Red on a Mac? For me it’s ok... I don’t have a windows, so I can’t test it...

FWIW there is a libepoll that provides the epoll for non-Linux OS, however I have no idea where it is packaged.

I tried to install Red on a new Mac and had the same problem... I've done zen install epoll --/test then everything seems to work... Probably I have something not working... I'll find it sooner or later...
