btw and off-topic, I think they're being dumbly doctrinaire here.
libev is totally designed for cut-and-paste and it'd be impractical to
try to maintain a fixed ABI on it or change projects using the
cut-and-paste to use the system copy. One may wish it were different,
but that's just how it's designed and maintained. You can't always
fight upstream.

You could write a _wrapper_ library powered by libev, perhaps,
designed to be a shared lib.

The fact is that cut-and-paste code is still better than wheel
reinvention, something that people miss sometimes in their crusade
against cut-and-paste.

oh, one advantage of libev being cut-and-paste code is that you could
patch out those asserts...
