Local use flags so far:

dev-db/mariadb:libevent - Use libevent for connection handling
net-dns/unbound:libevent - Use dev-libs/libevent instead of internal
select based events
net-im/bitlbee:libevent - Use libevent for event handling
x11-misc/bmpanel:libevent - Use the libevent event loop interface
net-im/prosody:libevent - Use libevent for event handling

Any objections?

Cheers,

Dirkjan

As before with libcanberra, I don't think it makes sense to have basic
libraries like this as USE-flags. AFAICT, this should just become a
hard-dep in most cases, and where there's a compelling reason for the
ebuild to provide an alternative (or internal) event system, have this
as a default-enabled USE-flag.

Cheers,
