+libev (a high-performance event loop/model)
+
+Libev is modelled (very loosely) after libevent and the Event perl
+module, but is faster, scales better and is more correct, and also
+more featureful. And also smaller. Yay.
+
+Note: libev and libevent both have a usr/include/event.h
+header file. This could have lead to compile problems if both
+packages were installed at the same time, so it has been moved to
+usr/include/libev/event.h. Add CPPFLAGS="-I/usr/include/libev" to
+the SlackBuild if the software you're building over this needs the
+libevent compatibility layer (lighttpd2 and i3 don't).
