Tom just added support for installing timer events with a NULL
callback, that trigger event loop exit. I kinda prefer that solution
over a new call sd_event_loop() with timeout.

     sd_event_add_time(event, NULL, CLOCK_MONOTONIC, now(CLOCK_MONOTONIC) + 5 * USEC_PER_SEC, NULL, NULL);

That line should be enough to mak an even loop exit after 5s...
