 *
 * In an ideal world, we'd just use Libevent 2.0 from now on.  But as of June
 * 2009, Libevent 2.0 is still in alpha, and we will have old versions of
 * Libevent for the forseeable future.

    This is a 4-byte number, with the first three bytes representing the
    major, minor, and patchlevel respectively of the library.  The fourth
    byte is unused.

    This is equivalent to the format of LIBEVENT_VERSION_NUMBER on Libevent
    2.0.1 or later.  For versions of Libevent before 1.4.0, which followed the
    format of "1.0, 1.0a, 1.0b", we define 1.0 to be equivalent to 1.0.0, 1.0a
    to be equivalent to 1.0.1, and so on.
