GCC's interpretation of the C99 aliasing rules, to be charitable,
creates a dialect of C intended for a better programmers than I am
certain of my ability to be in all times.  I just spent 2 hours
tracking down a platform-hyperspecific libevent bug that turned out to
be because of this, and darned if I ever want to do *that* again.

One of Linus's recent rants will give you a picture of why GCC's
behavior here can lead to fun surprises in your binaries:

changes the Windows path from %APPDATA% to a host local

Patch from coderman.

Unfortunately, old Libevents don't _put_ a version in their headers, so
this can get a little tricky.  Fortunately, the only binary-compatibility
issue we care about is the size of struct event.  Even more fortunately,
Libevent 2.0 will let us keep binary compatiblity forever by letting us
decouple ourselves from the structs, if we like.
