Avoid calling exit() during event_base_new*()
Previously, each of the three make-an-event-base functions would exit
under different, weird circumstances, but return NULL on others.
- All three would exit on OOM sometimes.
- event_base_new() and event_init() would die if all backends were
disabled.
- None of them would die if the socketpair() call failed.
Now, only event_init() exits on failure, and it exits on every kind of
failure. event_base_new() and event_base_new_with_config() never do.

To build libevent, type
$ ./configure && make
(If you got libevent from the subversion repository, you will
first need to run the included "autogen.sh" script in order to
generate the configure script.)
Install as root via
# make install
You can run the regression tests by
$ make verify
Before, reporting any problems, please run the regression tests.
To enable the low-level tracing build the library as:
CFLAGS=-DUSE_DEBUG ./configure [...]
