libevent-2.0.21

[Chris Olin <chris at chrisolin dot com>]

Bear with me, as this is my first time doing this and every archived
intent email seems to have it's own format. Any advice is appreciated.

sdesc: "The libevent API provides a mechanism to execute a callback
function when a specific event occurs on a file descriptor or after a
timeout has been reached."
ldesc: "The libevent API provides a mechanism to execute a callback
function when a specific event occurs on a file descriptor or after a
timeout has been reached. Furthermore, libevent also support callbacks
due to signals or regular timeouts. libevent is meant to replace the
event loop found in event driven network servers. An application just
needs to call event_dispatch() and then add or remove events
dynamically without having to change the event loop. "
requires: ncurses-devel

It stands to reason that I should mention that plan on declaring my
intent to maintain tmux next if this intent is accepted, which
requires this library to function. Both can be successfully built from
source without any patching, but requires ncurses.h, which ins
included in the ncurses-devel package.

I couldn't find any archived ITPs for any libraries or any
documentation that said otherwise. If there's another/better way of
approaching this, please let me know.
