Just a note:

I did a grep for DEPENDS references to libevent in our tree and 
nfs-utils is the only recipe that lists it. I have tested building 
nfs-utils with the new libevent and there were no build errors.

Can anyone tell me if there are other applications known to use libevent 
that we include which I could do some runtime testing? If there are 
none, then I think in fact it should be safe to take this pull request.

If nothing else, the chrpath recipe upgrade commit is safe.

Thanks,

Scott
