Try tor trunk now. I believe it should work.

I also think it's a libevent error though, since the problem is that
libevent's event.h has no idea what a timeval is. Tor has a workaround
for systems that don't define a timeval, but libevent should include
this workaround too. Nick, can you look further into this?
