Thank you for sharing the contribution-I will try to use it both at work and for a personal project.
My first suggestion is to run aclocal and include some of the generated files in any tgz "release". The autotools installed at work are too old for libevent, so I have to use my personal OSX laptop to take this first step.

My first suggestion would be to build in separate parts. My suggestion would be to keep the HTTP & DNS in their own parts, and possibly a separate part for the evbuffer. Another idea would be to use the same event structure as the original libevent, so that one could dynamically the libevent-extras library to your new libev library without a rebuild. Maybe this would not be useful, but just an idea... I am actually using modified versions of all the header files for my home project to make them work better the CINT C++ interpreter. I actually renamed my copy of ev.h to ev_ev.h since OSX (and a few other things) already have an ev.h and I wanted to avoid an include path headache. Is this something you would consider?

Yes-I personally like the more modular structure better and am very happy using it at home so far. I will also try it at work. I wonder if we should consider starting a mail list for some of these libevent extensions? I recently found www.nabble.com to start a forum for free.
