 The first point would be to upgrade the version to 0.12.3 (and rtorrent-
 devel accordingly - another Ticket).

 0.12.3 is released and it has a few nice bugfixes for OS X (especially
 making dht work with ipv6 on OS X).


 The next enhancement of 0.12.3 is that kqueue works now fine on OS X
 (within the given OS limitations). Hence i suggest making it at least a
 port variant.

 configure arg is "--with-kqueue"

 I personally would make it a default setting (it has only advantages over
 the select option). But i don't know how well 10.3 or 10.5 works with it
 (i have OS 10.4).

 Minor point would be, to make ipv6 a variant. It's a variant on curl
 (which rtorrent uses). If one grabs everything the default way without
 fiddling with variants, compiling in ipv6 on libtorrent/rtorrent seems
 pretty useless to me.
