Bug Description
Build system always uses internal copy of libevent (we all know bundled libs are root of evil ;).
Using always external is easy:

but proper fix would be to allow to choose between internal and system one at configure time.

The problem here is that there is no way with ./configure to select the system libevent. This is needed for building .deb/.rpm for inclusion in distros and repositories.
Libevent should work like the other external dependencies (libz, libreadline, libssl) where one can at configure time select between bundled and system version.
