[Rpm-maint] [rpm-software-management/rpm] Adding an event loop in RPM to run asynchronous operations. (#258)

[Jeff Johnson]

Yes, there is libevent, then libev+libeio, and now libuv, all tuned towards slightly different goals.

libeio is narrowly targeted at asynchronous system calls, can be embedded, and is generally lean-and-mean and well tested.

But go shopping for alternatives if you wish: I chose libeio after looking at multiple alternatives.
