[Maria-developers] What is bundled libevent library for?

Sergei, Do you know why MariaDB sources have libevent library bundled with them? I don't see it being used anywhere. I see it was added in this commit by Monty http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~maria-captains/maria/10.0/revision/3492.3.1, but even in that commit I can't find any usages of the library. So should it be removed from MariaDB? Thank you, Pavel
