9c469db300e1b270a93c6b04c1709ac0f7751136 had started with the conversion
but left out another instance of incorrectly used AM_CFLAGS.
Dave Hart provided the suggestion for this fix.
The main reason for disabling installation is if you're building
libevent as a subpackage for embedding: you want to have your main
package's "make all" build libevent, but you don't want your main
package's "make install" to install libevent.
I'm running a fairly simple bit of test code using libevent2 with epoll and
openssl bufferevents and I've run into a 100% cpu usage problem.
Looking into it 100% usage was caused by epoll_wait constantly
returning write events on the openssl socket when it shouldn't really have
been looking for write events at all (N_ACTIVE_CALLBACKS() was returning 0
also).
Looking a bit deeper eventbuffer_openssl socket seems to be requesting
that the EV_WRITE event be removed when it should, but the event isn't
actually being removed from epoll.
Continuing to follow this I think I've found a bug in
event_changelist_del.
For evpoll event_del calls event_changelist_del which caches the change
which is then actioned later when evpoll_dispatch is called.
In event_changlist_del there is a check so that if the currently changed
action is an add then the cached action is changed to a no-op rather than a
delete (which makes sense). The problem arises if there are more than
two add or delete operations between calls to dispatch, in this case it's
possible that the delete is turned into a no-op when it shouldn't have
been.
For example starting with the event on, a delete followed by an add and
then another delete results in a no-op when it should have been a delete (I
added a fair bit of debug output that seems to confirm this behaviour).
I've applied a small change that checks the original old_event stored with
the change and only converts the delete to a no-op if the event isn't on in
old_event. This seems to have fixed my problem.
This is not part of the regression tests, since running it necessarily
takes a while. There is a new test-ratelim test; run it with '-h'
for an argument to see its options.
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.

The big win here is that we can get process-level isolation.
This has been tested to work okay on at least Linux and Win32. Only
the tests in regress.c have been converted wrapped in the new wrapper
functions; the others are still on the old system.

Use $top_srcdir and $srcdir variables to refer to source paths in Makefile.am. This makes it possible to build libevent from a separate directory. Patch from Kelly Anderson.
svn:r400
Fix compilation warnings in trunk on linux with gcc 4.1.2. In time-test.c, always include time.h, so that time() is defined. In test/Makefile.am, put -I../compat in CPPFLAGS, and fix a typo. In test/regress.c, cast unsigned char pointers to char* before passing them to str[n]cmp.
