This function, bufferevent_socket_connect_hostname() can either use
evdns to do the resolve, or use a new function (evutil_resolve) that
uses getaddrinfo or gethostbyname, like http.c does now.
This function is meant to eventually replace the hostname resolution mess in
http.c.

This code adds a new Bufferevent type that is only compiled when the
openssl library is present. It supports using an SSL object and an
event alert mechanism, which can either be an fd or an underlying
bufferevent.
There is still more work to do: the unit tests are incomplete, and we
need to support flush and shutdown much better. Sometimes events are
generated needlessly: this will hose performance.
There's a new encrypting proxy in sample/le-proxy.c.
This code has only been tested on OSX, and nowhere else.

Patch from Zack Weinberg. His message:
This one eliminates all use of AC_CHECK_LIB in the configure script.
AC_CHECK_LIB has a serious flaw: if the library you mention *exists*
but is not *necessary* for the function you want, it adds it to
$(LIBS) anyway. This was fine in the days of static libraries,
because the linker would ignore an .a library that didn't contain
anything you needed. However, ELF shared libraries are different
(let's not get into why): the linker will by default record a
DT_NEEDED entry for every shared object mentioned on the link
command line. Thus, every use of AC_CHECK_LIB is a potential
unnecessary DT_NEEDED, making extra work for the dynamic loader. The
cure is simply to use AC_SEARCH_LIBS instead; it first tries to find
the function you ask for in libc, and only if that doesn't work does
it try to use the extra library you mention.
For the same reasons, pkg-config .pc files should distinguish
between the libraries to use for shared linkage (Libs:) and the
additional libraries needed for static linkage (Libs.private:). I
have also made that correction in this patch. I also took the
opportunity to clean up the substitution variables a little and make
absolutely sure that the core library does not get linked against
zlib.

This is patch 2673214 from mmadia. It is correct, since we unconditionally
include signal.h in many other places, and only sometimes include sys/signal.h.
It is necessary to compile on Haiku, I'm told.

You do not want to know about the 2 hours I just spent tracking down
an evdns bug that only affected me on some platforms to the way we
were using sockaddr* and sockaddr_in*. Suffice it to say that I do
not think this is the only C99-aliasing-dubiousness in our code, nor
that I am smart enough to keep my code correct with the GCC's strict
aliasing optimizations in place.

Make offsetof into evutil_offsetof. Be a little more willing to call evbuffer_chain_align() from evbuffer_expand(). Clarify some docs, and add some XXX comments to note questionable areas.

Stop using deprecated autoconf code to set integer types; detect actual files to include more thoroughly. This should make us work on solaris 9 again. This should be a backport candidate, if it works. Also, make all libevent code use ev_uint32_t etc, rather than uint_32_t.
svn:r649
Add an --enable-gcc-warnings option (lifted from Tor) to the configure script. When provided, and when we are using GCC, we enable a bunch of extra GCC warnings in the compiler. Also, make the code all build happily with these warnings.
svn:r553
Remove rtsig method, as discussed in July. It hasn't compiled for quite a while, and nobody has seemed to miss it much. Please let us know if this was a bad call. [Tracker issue 1826539].
