Please, why put these really big http and dns protocols into an event handling library? I would prefer libevent to stay focused on providing portable select() and alternatives wrappers. The http and evdns are pretty big compared to the rest of libevent. They can be put in their own library(or -ies) perhaps? Some sort of libevent-driven application support?
