I hope this will be possible. We actually have one process that only
uses "event-core" and another process that also needs "ev-http".

I have made a patch based on the original idea, to patch the automake
files and a few tests and uploaded them to:
 * http://chris.brody.googlepages.com/libevent_ac_cjb_20071002.diff.txt
 * http://chris.brody.googlepages.com/libevent_test_cjb_20071002.diff.txt

However, this does not help us since different processes use different parts.

In addition, the original proposal makes a separate evbuffer.h header
file. Such modular design is very important for object-oriented
programming. For example: http://repo.or.cz/w/eventxx.git
