Log:
Check that Libevent header version matches Libevent library version.
Unfortunately, old Libevents don't _put_ a version in their headers, so
this can get a little tricky.  Fortunately, the only binary-compatibility
issue we care about is the size of struct event.  Even more fortunately,
Libevent 2.0 will let us keep binary compatiblity forever by letting us
decouple ourselves from the structs, if we like.

+  o Minor features:
+    - Try to make sure that the version of Libevent we're running with
+      is binary-compatible with the one we built with.  May address bug
+      897 and others.

   o Minor bugfixes:
     - Make outbound DNS packets respect the OutboundBindAddress setting.
       Fixes the bug part of bug 798. Bugfix on 0.1.2.2-alpha.
