Rewrite comment at head of eventdns.c
Let's make it more obvious to the everyday reader that eventdns.c is a) Based on Libevent's evdns.c b) Slated for demolition c) Supposed to keep API-compatibility with Libevent. d) Not worth tweaking unless there's a bug. --- src/or/eventdns.c | 20 +++++++++++++------- 1 files changed, 13 insertions(+), 7 deletions(-)
