libevent upstream explicitly disables 'libevent_pthreads' when building for Windows.
This repository exists for the sole purpose of building pthreads-enabled libevent with mingw-w64.
Original README moved to README_libevent.md.
This build only covers what saldl needs. Shared libraries are disabled. OpenSSL support is disabled. mingw-w64 is the only dependency.
