Hi Nick FWIW: the latest autoconf release (2.68) includes a number of changes to autoconf that causes libevent's configure logic to spew a flood of warnings. Jeff Squyres and I (with input from the autoconf team) have made the required changes to stop the warnings, but they are fairly extensive.
Just so you know, you aren't alone - every configure script we work with has the same problem :-( Don't know if you want this for 2.0.x or not - we will be sending it upstream for your consideration sometime next week.
