Packaging changes for libev in Rawhide

[Tim St Clair]

+1 to everything kevin just said. 

Just because other folks are employing bad practices, doesn't mean we should.  If that means dependent packages need to add an extra -I location, that is a far better solution then polluting & causing potential conflicts. 

Cheers,
Tim
