 Replying to [comment:29 teor]:
 > We also need to work out what to do if the variable contains "no":
 terminate configure and tell the user to install libevent?

 configure terminates before this if libevent isn't installed. Also, these
 checks are only run if the libevent2 header was found (which also turns on
 the event2 ifdefs) so a result of "no" at this point means something is
 rather wrong.
