 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.
 The Windows compilation in Jenkins seems to fail on this exact problem.
 When looking at the [https://jenkins.torproject.org/job/tor-ci-
 windows/1715/consoleText latest log] you can find the problem by searching
 for "no no". This is the result of the two `AC_SEARCH_LIB` queries finding
 no suitable libraries and their result being appended to the
 `TOR_LIBEVENT_LIBS` variable.
