 According to changelist second version desired to be compatible with the 
 source code wrote for the previous version. See: 
 http://levent.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/levent/trunk/libevent/whatsnew-2.0.txt?revision=1191&view=markup&pathrev=1191

 It seems that there should be only one version of libevent installed. Am 
 I wrong?
 > Hmm, plist is not clean?
 Thanks, I have updated shar file using the patch provided.

 XThe libevent API provides a mechanism to execute a callback function when
 Xa specific event occurs on a file descriptor or after a timeout has been
 Xreached.
 X
 Xlibevent is meant to replace the asynchronous event loop found in event
 Xdriven network servers. An application just needs to call event_dispatch()
 Xand can then add or remove events dynamically without having to change the
 Xevent loop.
 X
 XCurrently, libevent supports kqueue(2), select(2), poll(2), and epoll(4).
 XThe internal event mechanism is completely independent of the exposed event
 XAPI, and a simple update of libevent can provide new functionality without
 Xhaving to redesign the applications.  As a result, Libevent allows for
 Xportable application development and provides the most scalable event
 Xnotification mechanism available on an operating system.
