...and net-p2p/transmission-*. I already did on those transmission-*
ports, so you (mm) don't have to worry about transmission-* port.

While I am here, next time, when someone update libevent and if the
version shared library changed. Recommend to anyone to add
USE_AUTOTOOLS=libtool:22 and USE_GNOME=ltverhack that will correct the
version shared library. For example, with 1.1.13 with AUTOTOOLS/GNOME
added, I get this:

--------------------------------------
# grep "\.so\." pkg-plist-13
lib/libevent-1.4.so.2
lib/libevent_core-1.4.so.2
lib/libevent_extra-1.4.so.2
--------------------------------------

With the 1.4.14b, I get same as before.

--------------------------------------
# grep "\.so\." pkg-plist-14b
lib/libevent-1.4.so.2
lib/libevent_core-1.4.so.2
lib/libevent_extra-1.4.so.2
--------------------------------------

The USE_GNOME=ltverhack fixes a bug in libtool to bump version, which
it corrects way and only bump when ABI changes.

Cheers,
Mezz
