    Provide consistent, tested semantics for bufferevent timeouts
    
    The different bufferevent implementations had different behavior for
    their timeouts.  Some of them kept re-triggering the timeouts
    indefinitely; some disabled the event immediately the first time a
    timeout triggered.  Some of them made the timeouts only count when
    the bufferevent was actively trying to read or write; some did not.
    
    The new behavior is modeled after old socket bufferevents, since
    they were here first and their behavior is relatively sane.
    Basically, each timeout disables the bufferevent's corresponding
    read or write operation when it fires.  Timeouts are stopped
    whenever we suspend writing or reading, and reset whenever we
    unsuspend writing or reading.  Calling bufferevent_enable resets a
    timeout, as does changing the timeout value.

    $ ./configure
    $ make
    $ make verify   # (optional)
    $ sudo make install
    
    1. BUILDING AND INSTALLATION (In Depth)
    
    To build libevent, type
    
    $ ./configure && make
    
         (If you got libevent from the git 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 running
    
    $ 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 [...]
    
    Standard configure flags should work.  In particular, see:
    
       --disable-shared          Only build static libraries
       --prefix                  Install all files relative to this directory.
    
    
    The configure script also supports the following flags:
    
       --enable-gcc-warnings     Enable extra compiler checking with GCC.
       --disable-malloc-replacement
                                 Don't let applications replace our memory
                                 management functions
       --disable-openssl         Disable support for OpenSSL encryption.
       --disable-thread-support  Don't support multithreaded environments.
