library needs a ranlib run on it before it can be built against. What is the
best way to do this? I was thinking something like:

[ `use macos` ] && ranlib /usr/lib/libevent.a

Fellow devs: please advise.

Otherwise, this library seems to compile fine, and works fine with scanssh-1.6b
(which I will mark stable on macos as soon as this bug is closed).

OOPS! Remind me never to do this late-night/early-morning dev work again... I
goofed!

I was unable to confirm that the library actually worked properly, because
scanssh-2.0 didn't seem to be working properly. scanssh-1.6b *did* work
properly, but as I have just seen, does not depend on nor use libevent. DOH!

Regardless, scanssh-2.0 compiles only after the aforementioned ranlib stuff is
done.

Tested with ferringb's ranlib fix.  Works great.  Tested with scanssh to make
sure things link properly against it.  Can be stabled as soon as bug #58848 is
resolved.

In CVS.
