 *
 * 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

    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
