Ok, where does it say one can event_add, event_set, and then event_add again?
This is what http.c actually does.
And where does it say that one can call event_del on a struct event without
calling event_set before?
This is what other code actually does.

It would be off-topic there, as the libev API doesn't suffer from these
problems, and its testsuite isn't as buggy.

1. I reported a number of bugs in libevent so far. I am not insinuating,
but reporting bugs, to improve libevent.
2. I rewrote the libevent core part to be faster, much more scalable,
with less artificial limitations and worked hard to contribute
this back to libevent.
I don't think reporting bugs (or talking about possible bugs) is
discourteous, nor do I think I was in any way discourteous.
If you don't want to hear about bugs or improvements for libevent, you can
say so, but I think you are treating me rather unfairly, given the amount of
work I did. Even if libev never gets integrated into libevent, fixing the
bugs I found while trying to get it to run should be of interest to you.
Or is it the fact that something came up that is faster and more
featureful (and smaller, too) than libevent that distracts you? Fear not,
as I still intend to contribute, but I realyl don'T want to be insulted
for improving your library.
:(

omg, a top-poster and full-quoter, too.
