Paolo suggested using pkg-config and the PKG_CHECK_MODULES macro to give 
some flexibility about where the headers and libraries are installed. I'll 
submit a new patch that uses pkg-config and PKG_CHECK_MODULES.

I need to finish working on EVFILT_TIMER before attempting to run the 
libdispatch test suite. Currently, libkqueue has pretty good support for the 
READ, WRITE, SIGNAL, and VNODE filters. The TIMER filter is about 50% 
complete, and I haven't started on the USER or PROC filters. I have written 
about 30 unit tests and have almost 100% success when running the test suite.

Just for fun, I tried running 'make' inside of the libdispatch testing/ 
directory, and it looks like there are some problems. Here's the output:
