That makes libverto a fedora-only library, requiring a special
fedora-patched libev to compile, and its not trivial to undo this.
I can't say why they did that - probably they did that just because they
assumed the fedora-packaged libev version would be the original upstream
version.
Now if that isn't the perfect argument on why including this patch in gentoo
is just wrong...

Yes, I can help here, by keeping it out of libev until there is a
demonstrated usefulness to it.
I wish there *was* a mechanism that was able to automatically give the
correct cflags and libs, but pkg-config does nothing of the sort - it just
gives you cflags and libs that are most likely not necessary, and quite
often wrong.
