[Qt5-feedback] libevent-based QEventDispatcher

[Gifford Hesketh]

Correct me if I am wrong, but my understanding is that
QEventDispatcher plays an important role in Qt and essentially uses
select() as its underlying mechanism.  Libevent provides a unified,
cross-platform interface to the most important modern replacements for
select().  Even with a relatively small number of monitored events,
libevent can provide an order of magnitude improvement in
efficiency/performance/etc.
