/* This stuff used to be in proxy.c too, but I split it off so BitlBee can
   use other libraries (like libevent) to handle events. proxy.c is one very
   nice piece of work from Gaim. It connects to a TCP server in the back-
   ground and calls a callback function once the connection is ready to use.
   This function (proxy_connect()) can be found in proxy.c. (It also
   transparently handles HTTP/SOCKS proxies, when necessary.)

   This file offers some extra event handling toys, which will be handled
   by GLib or libevent. The advantage of using libevent is that it can use
   more advanced I/O polling functions like epoll() in recent Linux
   kernels. This should improve BitlBee's scalability. */
