Hello,

The current patch needed by hip-hop involves libevent 1.4, but this version doesn't accept any more new features, as dev is focused now on libevent 2

=> Could you create a new patch for last version of libevent please ?
And of course, it would be nice to propose this patch as a feature request on the tracker of libevent (and give us the ticket number to follow the status of the merge)

One slight remark:
I've seen a feature request: http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=2008766&group_id=50884&atid=461325, that deals with a part of the hiphop patch for libevent

=> The main developer of libevent has closed this request, as new version of libevent can handle it. I quote him:
```I'm going to close this; it's pretty easy to do now via
evhttp_bind_socket_with_handle and evhttp_bound_socket_get_handle
```

So I guess it would diminish a lot of code in the hiphop patch for libevent (maybe no patch would be needed at all ?)

I'll be so happy when no patch at all will be needed to install hiphop :) (and like a .deb/.rpm to install out of the box)
