I'd like to do it, but I'm worried about the hundreds of projects that it would break -- namely, the ones that don't use pkgconfig. One of my guiding principles with Libevent is not to break existing well-formed code, and I'd like to stick to that as far as I can.
Fair enough, I guess it can wait for another few release cycles, maybe libevent 3.0 ;-)
Is there any way to build the libevent library so that people linking it get a useful warning at link time? I know it's possible to do with some unixy systems at least, looking at the __warn_references trickery that OpenBSD uses to call me out whenever I strcpy().
I'll have a look, but issuing a deprecation warning when linking against -levent sounds reasonable.
