    Do the proper hack for the (Open)BSD getaddrinfo quirk.
    
    From evutil.c:
    
       Some older BSDs (like OpenBSD up to 4.6) used to believe that
       giving a numeric port without giving an ai_socktype was verboten.
       We test for this so we can apply an appropriate workaround.  If it
       turns out that the bug is present, then:
    
        - If nodename==NULL and servname is numeric, we build an answer
          ourselves using evutil_getaddrinfo_common().
    
        - If nodename!=NULL and servname is numeric, then we set
          servname=NULL when calling getaddrinfo, and post-process the
          result to set the ports on it.
    
       We test for this bug at runtime, since otherwise we can't have the
       same binary run on multiple BSD versions.

  • 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 [...]
