+config BR2_PACKAGE_LIBEVENT
+	tristate "libevent - Event notification library for event-driven network servers"
+#	default m if CONFIG_DEVEL
+	default n
+	help
+	  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.
+	  
+	  libevent is meant to replace the event loop found in event driven 
+	  network servers. An application just needs to call event_dispatch() 
+	  and then add or remove events dynamically without having to change 
+	  the event loop.
