Comment (by nickm):
Thanks, rubiate! I have a few questions, to make sure I understand.
* Is it really true that on OpenBSD with libevent2, `-levent` is
necessary? Or would `-levent_extra -levent_core` be sufficient? (I hope
that the latter is true, or else the libevent installation is really
mangled!)
* I'm a little worried by the `LIBS="-levent"` line: on some platforms
(like Linux or Windows), Libevent simply won't link with only `-levent`,
since you also need `-lrt` or `-lws2_32` or something. I realize this is
only a theoretical issue, since those platforms don't seem to have the
same problem as OpenBSD does here. But do you think `LIBS="$saved_LIBS
-levent"` could work instead for this test?
