Not sure what's the policy regarding patching embedded copy of libev.
The policy is to kill the embedded copy as soon as possible.
Seems like a good time to do that.
Not sure if you've ever had any dealings with upstream libev or not. But let's
just say its not easy. I apply a patch on top of libev to suit audit's needs.

Without this, coverity analysis is much harder. Audit is one of those
subsystems that you really need to be sure of what its doing and that even
libraries it uses are correct.
