This patch adds a new compat_libevent.[ch] set of files, and moves our
Libevent compatibility and utilitity functions there. We build them
into a separate .a so that nothing else in src/commmon depends on
Libevent (partially fixing bug 507).
Also, do not use our own built-in evdns copy when we have Libevent
2.0, whose evdns is finally good enough (thus fixing Bug 920).
For reasons which make sense to somebody, I'm sure, mingw gcc wants the libraries to appear at the end of the command line. This is done by specifying them with LDADD in Makefile.am, not LDFLAGS.
If anybody can explain to me why mingw thinks "gcc -o foo foo.o -lbar" is fine, whereas "gcc -lbar -o foo foo.o" is Doubleplusbad UnMingwThink, I'd quite appreciate it. Until then, I'll just do what seems to work, and hope we don't blunder across any other great slumbering cthonian deities of arbitrary syntax.
