Yep, those two used to be mine.

This library has been deprecated for some time, and the new series  
"eventfulapi" follows the standard gem naming conventions.

In fact, this particular gem file should no longer be available, and  
I thought I removed both the evdbapi package and its associated files  
on RubyForge. At least, they do not appear on my project admin pages.

Like the one built by Kirk Haines, this gem was built a long time  
ago. It was published with the gem build command, but to complement  
our libraries in other languages, on our own distribution site the  
current version was offered under the alias name "-current". I  
offered both the numbered version and the alias without thinking.  
Sorry about that.

Hope this didn't cause any trouble. Please let me know if there's  
anything I need to do.
