I spent a lot of time doing libevent stuff for a work project the last
few weeks and I am in love with the API.  One negative is the poor
documentation; especially the buffered events docs are inadequate.

Yes, I read the source :-)  but it would have been a little less painful
to have a slightly better man page and some standalone examples.

Negatives aside once you figure it out it allows one to write code that
doesn't require threading and other complexity inducing stuff.  Yay
finite state machines!
