[ excerpt from developer's www site ]
An ocaml wrapper for the libevent API. The libevent API provides a
mechanism to execute a callback function when a specific event
occurs on a file descriptor or after a timeout has been reached.
Furthermore, libevent also support callbacks due to signals or
regular timeouts.
Currently, libevent supports /dev/poll, kqueue(2), select(2), poll(2)
and epoll(4). It also has experimental support for real-time signals.
The internal event mechanism is completely independent of the exposed
event API, and a simple update of libevent can provide new functionality
without having to redesign the applications. As a result, Libevent
allows for portable application development and provides the most
scalable event notification mechanism available on an operating
system.

Only use libevent2
Remove libevent as libevent2 is providing a good compatibility interface as well
as providing better performances.
Remove custom patches from libevent2 and install libevent2 the regular way
Mark ports abusing private fields of the libevent1 API as broken
Import a patch from fedora to have honeyd working with libevent2
Remove most of the patches necessary to find the custom installation we used to
have for libevent2

Convert GMAKE to MAKE_CMD
Please note that lots of invocation of MAKE_CMD here are wrong as they do not
properly respect MAKE_ENV and friends

Remove indefinite articles and trailing periods from COMMENT, plus
minor COMMENT typos and surrounding whitespace fixes. Categories D-F.

- Bump portrevisions on all ocaml libraries, as it appears that compiled
interface files (.cmi) are not backward compatible with a newer ocaml
version.

For ports maintained by ports@FreeBSD.org, remove names and/or
e-mail addresses from the pkg-descr file that could reasonably
be mistaken for maintainer contact information in order to avoid
confusion on the part of users looking for support. As a pleasant
side effect this also avoids confusion and/or frustration for people
who are no longer maintaining those ports.
