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) DES --=20 Dag-Erling Sm=C3=B8rgrav - des@des.no
