#16648: Libevent configuration doesn't use pkg-config

 This interferes with some packages/ports (e.g. OpenBSD's) because the
 system's libevent CFLAGS and LIBS aren't used.

 Pkg-config would probably make the dev's lives easier, too. Because the
 project is dropping support for older libevent versions, now's a good
 time.

 Thoughts? Would this break any non-Unixy platforms?
