Memcached first became public around 2003. That explains the special  
reason it doesn't use libev!

Now, if libev does some spectacularly better stuff that libevent  
doesn't do, that can benefit memcached, bring it up! Nobody (well,  
mostly :-p) on the list is averse to discussing useful improvements.
