Hello,

The libraries of libevent 1.4.13 and older are versioned by
libtool as

   *-1.4.so.2.1.3

whereas libevent 1.4.14 is using

   *-1.4.so.1.2.3

This breaks every application linked against 1.4.13 if you
upgrade to version 1.4.14. I don't think that this is the 
desired behaviour, but a bug caused by the wrong VERSION_INFO 
string in Makefile.am. It is VERSION_INFO = 3:3:2 but should 
probably be VERSION_INFO = 3:4:1 and resulting library-names 
like *-1.4.so.2.1.4.


Greetings
Juergen
