Make persistent timeouts more accurate.
Previously, if the user scheduled a persistent timeout for {1,0}, we
would schedule the first one at "now+one second", and then when we
were about to run its callback, we would schedule it again for one
second after that. This would introduce creeping delays to the event
that was supposed to run every second.
Now, we schedule the event for one second after it was _last
scheduled_. To do this, we introduce internal code to add an event at
an _absolute_ tv rather than at now+tv.

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 [...]
