is there a process to have it brought into Cygwin so then all that I really
need to do is package tmux and send out an ITP?
You can adopt the libevent package yourself, which relieves Yaakov --
who maintains Cygwin Ports -- of the burden of maintaining it.
libevent is in Cygwin Ports to satisfy cyphertite, ocaml-libevent, and
transmission. So, before adopting it, think about whether you want to
place yourself in a blocking position for those packages, too. That is,
if libevent needs some fix or update to allow those packages to continue
working, you'll be pressured to fix it even though you do not need the
fix yourself for tmux.
