I suggest importing libevent (or a subset of it) as an internal library,
i.e. define INTERNALLIB in the Makefile so we get a libevent.a which
ftp-proxy can link against but which isn't installed.  Alternatively, we
can import a subset of libevent and name it something else (like we did
with expat -> bsdxml)
